100 EUR per year for a train pass? Wow. I pay $100 USD per month for a CTA pass in Chicago...and that's about the best transit situation you'll find in the US.

Also mind that in many places in Europe, public transit is more heavily subsidized by taxes. If you consider how low taxes are in most states of the US, you probably have some extra money at hand to use for trains (or whatever else), partially making up for the higher cost.

Just for context this is the all you can eat monthly plan for the CTA and the suburban bus system. It represents something like 50 per ride, no transfer train trips per month.
