Finland's Kyllönen sees free public transport for children -HS: "Merja Kyllönen Lleft), Finland’s transport minister, was quoted as saying by national daily Helsingin Sanomat on Sunday that public transport should be free for children.
Kyllönen told the paper that the rapid rate of increase in motoring was a problem, especially in the capital region where the number of cars was set to grow by 40 per cent over the next decade if the current trend continued.
"Where would that number of cars fit in here?" Kyllönen was quoted as saying.
Kyllönen added she was particularly concerned by children learning by example, with their parents driving them everywhere."
