In the summer in Germany, there was a "ticket for 9 euros", which could be used in all types of transport for a month. But recently, the country's authorities adopted new rules and prices for fares in public transport.


New fare in Germany


Ukrainians living in Germany could previously buy a travel ticket at a reduced rate of €9. These were discounted tickets and such a special offer ended in September.


Currently, the German government has reached a common agreement and established a new single ticket price of €49.


Today, the price of a discount ticket for Ukrainians in Berlin with a Berliner Pass is €28.50.


How long will the new travel card be valid?


The €49 ticket will be valid for a month, but passengers will be able to cancel the travel subscription at any time.


Attention! The new ticket will be valid for all public transport, except for IC, ICE high-speed trains.


When will the new prices take effect?


Discussions on all technical issues have already been completed, so the government plans to introduce a new nationwide ticket for 49 euros from January 1, 2023.


The federal government will finance the new "€49 tickets", allocating 1.5 billion euros a year. However, Berlin considers the price of 49 euros too high and plans to develop its strategy to simplify the purchase of tickets.


"Many people live in Berlin who cannot afford a 49-euro ticket. That's why I'm going to develop a special strategy that will help introduce socially oriented proposals for people who need it", - said Berlin senator for transport Bettina Jarash.


We will remind you! Previously, we wrote about changes in travel conditions for Ukrainians in Austria. You can familiarize yourself with the new rules and prices by following the link.
