In 2011, the City of Vienna made the annual ticket for public transport cheaper. Since then, it is €365 per year for all subway/train/tram/bus lines.

And since then, the number of annual ticket holders has increased from 363k to 852k (of 1.9m). I guess, this is a success story.

And

How often are you driven by desire?
"I want to do that" / "I'm excited to start"

I think I liked Mastodon's profile directory (/explore) a lot better when you could actually browse it by interest / hash-tag.

Now it just feels like a random list of users?

You can still browse it by hash-tag if you manually edit the URL though:
