    Pay for tram operators here in Germany isn’t that bad actually. Yes could definitely be more, but we’ve a general worker shortage here so that plays a lot into it.

      I dislike this response. The “raise the pay” folks don’t just mean people living in poverty.

      The pay is not yet sufficient to pull people from their next best alternative. A labor shortage can be fixed by paying more than the next best option.
