The "Deutschlandticket" monthly travel pass allows passengers unlimited trips on local and regional trains, trams and buses. Starting in 2025, the ticket will be €9 more expensive.
To add on to what the other person said, this is very likely a targeted move to kill the ticket and mock the people that want it. Before it got renamed, it was called the 49€-Ticket, which followed in the footsteps of Corona-time 9€-Ticket, which allowed people to use all regional transport for nine bucks a month. It was hugely successful. When Corona stimuli were cut, it got replaced with what we have now. Since then, a lot of people have demanded to bring back a permanent 9€-Ticket.
The transportation minister, Volker Wissing from the right-wing, corrupt, neoliberal FDP instead announces he’s going to raise the price, by… 9€. This is just a spit in the face of everyone wishing for affordable transit
