The hot topic of monthly Bahn-ticket (2024 pricing was 49 Euro, and it was supposed to escalate to 58 Euro in January) has come up.
State transportation chiefs have come up and said....if the coalition (now SPD-Greens)...don't fix the budget and pass it....that 58 Euro ticket can't stay at the current projected price.
To make this deal work....the states and federal gov't were supposed to come and 'give' up 1.5-billion Euro....to subsidize the ticket (getting it down to 58 Euro). If this fails? No one says much, but you'd have to expect the ticket to go up to 68 Euro (minimum)....maybe more.
What you get for the price? All bus and normal rail transport....in 2nd-class....for a month. No ICE or high-speed rail travel.
Has this ticket always been around? No. It occurred after Covid and was supposed to be a gimmick in getting people to ditch their car and go to work via the network.
