Back in 2023...the SPD/Green/FDP gov't pushed up an idea of creating a 3-month long ticket....costing per person....per month...9-Euro. You could go anywhere in Germany....rail or bus....except by fast rail (IC or ICE). This 'success' led onto the 49-Euro monthly ticket.
Today....someone finally sat down...analyzed the 9-Euro ticket, success, and ARD (Channel 1 of public TV) published the story.
Basically....it was ineffective and expensive.
Pretty much everything they discussed....people already knew.
To make the 9-Euro monthly ticket work in 2023....they had to 'steal' from the national budget a great deal. Even today....to make the 49-Euro monthly ticket work....you still have to steal from the national budget. Locally, before this gimmick came along, the same ticket would have been around 105-Euro per adult.
