Or, 3 billion euros is a huge amount of money for something that is not needed... (company cars are neither here nor there, irrelevant)

I'd like to read arguments beyond "great, tickets are cheaper!".

I'm not sure on the current data but during the 9 euro ticket trial over last summer 10% of daily commuters shifted from cars to public transport, 17% overall shifted to public transport and 1.8 million tons of CO2 were saved. The company car subsidy on the other hand is definitely NOT climate friendly.
