Niemand bestreitet, dass mehr Freizeitmöglichkeiten für Ärmere gut sind. Der Punkt: Bei knappen Mitteln zählt Instrumentenwahl. Ein universell subventioniertes Ticket erzeugt Mitnahmeeffekte, Überlastung und Opportunitätskosten. Soziale Teilhabe sollte gezielt gefördert werden.
Vlt einmal zur Klarstellung: Natürlich ist es ein gute Sache, wenn mehr Menschen ein reicheres Freizeitleben haben? Wenn sie das anders sehen, haben wir einen inhaltlichen Dissens. Dass das das definierte Ziel war, hab ich nicht gesagt und auch selten gelesen.
