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" 😭
