FREE TRAVEL CARD for young workers could be reinstated The youth worker card – which gave workers under the age of 30 the possibility to use public transportation for free during short term work contracts – was instated by the X party four years ago and abolished by the Y party. During the budget negotiations with the government in 2015, X pushed through the initiative on a trial basis, which allowed young workers to use public transportation for free if their place of work was outside of walking distance. When the new majority consisting of the Y party and Z party took power, the initiative was dropped. Now there is hope it will be reinstated: “It was a popular reform,” says the regional council’s spokesperson. But the youth worker card was not as popular with the office for transportation, despite the overall economic gain of the project. “It was always intended to be on a trial period only, now that trial period has ended,” according to their website. |
The regional council remains optimistic and hopes the government will reinstate the initiative that could once
more provide support for young workers. The X party say they expect the reforms the party has made with the government will continue, including the reinstatement of the youth worker card.
