The transport ministers of the federal and state governments consider a nationwide local transport ticket for 49 euros per month to be possible as a successor to the 9-euro ticket. This emerges from a decision paper for the conference of transport ministers, which is available to the German Press Agency.
“In agreement with the federal government, the conference of transport ministers holds an introductory price of 49 euros/month in a monthly subscription for a possible offer,” it says. The federal and state governments support the fastest possible introduction.
The federal government will provide 1.5 billion annually for this from 2023, it is said. The aim is for funding by the federal states to be the same amount. “The states are willing to co-finance under the condition of an agreement on the regionalization funds.”
