The ‘Deutschlandticket’, a widely popular public transport pass in Germany, is guaranteed until 2025 at a new price of €58. In May 2023, it gained rapid success with 9 million sales, rising to over 13 million monthly subscriptions by mid-2024. Financially supported by federal and state governments to cover local transport revenue losses, the ticket’s long-term future remains uncertain. Leaders from various political parties express the need for ongoing collaboration and innovation in public transportation to attract new users and ensure its sustainability beyond 2025.
