The Stendal district is not getting out of the 49 euro ticket. A special district council decided on Wednesday evening that the Deutschlandticket will also be recognized beyond the turn of the year, as District Administrator Patrick Puhlmann (SPD) announced. At the beginning of December, the district council decided differently. This means that the ticket should no longer be valid on the buses there from January 1st.

Saxony-Anhalt’s Minister for Infrastructure and Digital, Lydia Hüskens (FDP), spoke of good news. This means that the Deutschlandticket remains valid everywhere in the country. “That is ultimately one of its greatest advantages.” Hüskens pointed out that the districts are sufficiently well equipped financially with regard to public bus transport.
