Luxembourg has hailed positive results after becoming the first country to make public transport free last year, with 10,000 more people using it each day during the working week.
The small European nation officially introduced Mobilité Gratuite (Free Mobility) on 1 March 2020 and - despite the impact of the pandemic - is pleased with the results thus far.

The first Covid-19 case in the country was detected the night before free transport was introduced, and subsequent lockdown measures affected usage. However, numbers skyrocketed pre-lockdown and last month an average of 40,090 passengers used the tram on work days - which is about 10,000 more than before it was made free.

Feguer was convicted of murder and executed by hanging in 1963, aged 28, and proved to be the last federal inmate executed in the US before a moratorium on the death penalty which ended in 2001. He was also the last person to be put to death in the state of Iowa.
That s a good point, what did happen to the bike? Massive crash mat, perhaps?
Work on the film came to a halt last year, before resuming in September, and Cruise said it was emotional getting back to work.

However, while he may well be dedicated to keeping people in the film industry working through the pandemic, this passion appeared to tip him over the edge in December, when leaked audio captured him raging at crew members for breaking Covid-19 social distancing rules.
