The total cost of the two euro trip is likely more than two dollars, even though the end user only pays the two.

Also, Vienna is a much larger city than the small Innisfil and economies of scale matter a lot.

Yes, public transport are heavily subsidized in Austria. My home town has roughly the same pricing as Vienna, in case you overlooked that. It's comparable in size to Innisfil. Perhaps Canadian towns subsidize PT a lot less?

Comparable in population or in size? Innisfil is 260 sq km.

No, check out my original comment. Innisfil is 4 times the size.
