TODAYS SITUATION IN LUXEMBOURG Luxembourg's government provides a scheme (M PASS) with reduced ticket prices covering Luxembourg COUNTRY for Administrations. A yearly renewable convention has to be signed with Transport Ministry. Costs depends of quantities ordered : if more than 200 M Pass: 320 EUR/year = 26.7 EUR/month
TODAYS SITUATION IN BRUSSELS Commission reimburses to the civil servants: 50% of MONTHLY ticket up to 60 km (city and train) under the condition to give up parking place. MAX VALUE REIMBURSMENT is 137 EUR*50% = 68 EUR/month A PARKING SPACE AT COM. COSTS > 68 EUR/month. CONCLUSION: For Luxembourg, a M PASS is CHEAPER that what colleagues from Brussels can get, than the parking space costs.
