Berlin 29-euro ticket before the out: savings plans of the coalition!
nag/nag editors -
The 29-euro ticket for public transport in Berlin is about to end! The black and red coalition plans to abolish the popular monthly ticket in the coming year to achieve massive savings in the household. Up to 300 million euros a year are to be saved, as said from coalition groups. This decision follows the reports of the "Tagesspiegel" and could significantly influence the mobility of the Berliners.
The 29-euro ticket, which was only introduced as an annual subscription in July 2024, was intended as a cheaper alternative to the Germany ticket, which is valid nationwide for 49 euros. With the ticket, passengers were able to use all public transport in Berlin-from S-Bahn to subway to buses and trams, but only in the tariff area. If you want to drive on or to the airport, you had to buy an additional ticket.
savings in the household
The coalition of the CDU and SPD has set itself the goal of saving a total of three billion euros in the 2025 budget. The abolition of the 29-euro ticket could be part of these austerity measures. Finally, it was even speculated over a price of 39 euros. The exact details of the abolition are still unclear, but the discussions about the savings are already in full swing. A coalition committee meets in the Red City Hall to discuss the overall package.
for 2026 even savings of up to five billion euros are planned. In the meantime, the Germany ticket is expected to increase to 58 euros per month. The future of Berlin mobility is on the brink - and the Berliners have to prepare for changes!
