My daughter is in/at Georgia Tech Lorraine, Metz France, summer studies....not far from the Germany border, as you know.

Not outrageous, but not a "mass transit" nirvana, imo.

 She was in Ludwigshaufen and was pretty much on campus, there were  no additional charges.  Wbat kind of transportation are you taking about?  Think you either got taken or are mistaken what you payed for but I am sure you have been victimized somehow.

Turkey cockblocks Sweden and Finland from NATO 
The list of demands: NATOshould classify not only the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) but also
 the Syrian Defense Forces (SDF) and the Fetullah Terrorist Organization
 (FETO) in the alliance’s list of threats.
 
The United States should then extradite Pennsylvania-based dissident cleric Fethullah Gülen to Turkey.
All NATO members, including Sweden and Finland, must cease any activity by the PKK, SDF, or FETO on their territories.
TheUnited States and other NATO bodies must lift all sanctions related to
 Turkey’s purchase of the S-400, including sanctions upon the Turkish
 Defense Industry Directorate.
 
Turkeywould not only receive the new F-16s and upgrade kits for its existing
 fleet, but Turkey will also be able to rejoin the F-35 program from
 which it was expelled after activating the Russian S-400s.
 
Lastly, the United States would cease preventing Turkey from exporting military products containing Western components.

how about Turkey just fuck off?  lot of demands by a country that is buying weapons from a primary threat to the sole purpose of NATO.  If anything Turkey should be cowering in the corner instead of trying to be all puffy.
