Finland's Greens propose lower rates for long-distance rail travel

Finland's Greens published their alternative to the state budget for 2007 on Wednesday, including a proposal to reduce the price of tickets for long-distance rail travel by 10 per cent. Such a move would be funded through state-collected tax revenue. The Greens also propose increases in taxation on alcohol and tobacco, as well as waste tax. The party would increase the funds allocated for municipal services and a number of welfare benefits.
