Errr, DB, how do you even calculate this one?

Public transport in Luxembourg is FREE

And Troisvierges and Luxembourg are both, errr, in Luxembourg 🤯

@jon I checked some dates, up to 30.04, no price information available, from 01.05 it's 27 Euro.

It looks like the DB app/website can't deal with free trains. Maybe someone has to manually enter something to make it work and does it for an x amount of months in advance?

@Momo1435 @jon I have to suspect someone coded it up to assume that a zero price was "falsy" and indicates a lack of data, so it goes searching for a non-"missing" price.

Such are the original sins of software "engineering" 😭

@Momo1435 @jon for me it looks more like this works on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays but not on any other days

@IngaLovinde @jon Yes, I see it, but it's the other way around of course. It only works as it should on weekdays as there are no days of the weeks when you should have to pay.

Makes it even stranger of course. Hopefully there are not many not experienced travellers that would use the DB app/website to buy train tickets in Luxembourg.

@Momo1435 @jon yes, I mean 27-euro-ticket only works on weekends
