It doesn't seem too bad a price for the concession.

The train can operate 7 days a week from 9am - 7pm, 365 days a year.

The train belongs to the Council.  The fare is 1 euro or 1.50

So it works out as 35 euros a day for the concession.

I just spit out my cup of tea in shock.     It's got to be the joke of the year.

it would work out that you would have to work 365 days a year earning €32 a day to cover that €60,000

That's without fuel, insurance, maintenance.
Plus you have to put up with the blue wristband brigade... screaming kids and fathers with numbered shirts on moaning how their beer is watered down in the Dorada.

Might pass on that one Fifi
