Yes, they tried to launch a single travel ticket several times already. Now, as the German publication ZDF writes, the authorities have decided on the date - May 1, 2023.
What will the single travel ticket look like in Germany, and why is the price of 49 euros not fixed?
Currently, it is planned that the single ticket for all types of transport will be electronic, and it will be possible to purchase it with a one-month subscription. However, it is still unclear whether the introduction of a paper ticket is planned.
The ticket is promised to be introduced as a continuation of the experiment with travel for 9 euros per month, which was carried out last summer. Then it was used more than 50 million times.
The price of 49 euros per month for travel was called "initial" by the federal authorities. As the price is expected to increase dynamically in line with inflation from 2024 onwards.
A cheaper ticket will also be available in the country
Another travel ticket will be introduced throughout Germany - it will be cheaper. It is about "working travel" provided that the employers will bear part of the costs of the transport company. They can also make school and social tickets.
Deutschlandticket will be launched only after several legal steps
Before transport associations and local transport companies can introduce the ticket, the EU Commission in Brussels must approve the project. In addition, it is necessary to supplement the law on regionalization (local legislation).
