Yeah, especially that it’s just valid a year, sounds stupid.
If they would give us a lifetime of free transport with a little ad tattoo for public transport, I would be fine with it.
But a permanent tattoo for 1 year of using bus/train/bim doesn’t sound really attractive or reasonable
More or less this was just an event to promote public transport stuff - and never was really about the tattoo, but it draws attention. So not needed that someone (or many) really does it
Is there actually something called “bim” in Austria or are you making a The Apple joke?
In the Viennese city dialect a tram is called a “Bim”.
Gotcha, thanks!
Permanent free anything is always problematic. Recipients would be able to sue in the future when anything changes, however small.
