Tallinn (bigger city than Dunkirk) has free public transport since 2013, and since 2018 it expanded to the whole Estonia https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/06/estonia-is-making-pub...

Luxembourg has had it for people aged under 20 for a few years now, and next year it's becoming free for everyone: https://www.mobiliteit.lu/se-deplacer/titres-de-transport/gr... [in French]

Even in France, it's nothing new, my home town has had free buses since 2002.

And the article states "Styling itself as a “laboratory” of free transport, Dunkirk has attracted an “incessant” stream of visitors intrigued at whether it could work in their cities, says Delevoye.". That's just poor journalism.

Pardon me, the site you linked timed out. Is it only free for residents or also for people who're visiting?
