Germany ticket remains - but the price increases to 58 euros!

The future of the Germany ticket has changed decisively. After weeks of speculation about its continuation, it is now clear: From January 2025, the ticket will be available at a new price of 58 euros per month, which is an increase compared to the previous 49 euros. The Bundestag and the Federal Council approved the necessary change in the law on Friday, December 20, to ensure the financing for the coming year, report Berlin> Berlin> Live .

This decision brings important predictability for the over 13 million users of the ticket in the upcoming time. The SPD parliamentary group deputy Detlef Müller described the agreement as positive news. The financing of the Germany ticket is secured by the federal states by an annual subsidy of the federal government of 1.5 billion euros and another 1.5 billion euros. Despite these measures, the long -term perspective of the Germany ticket remains uncertain. The Union Group Vice Ulrich Lange (CSU) expressed concerns and criticized the financing by explaining that the ticket was not sustainable with the new price, as Tagesschau reported.

long -term uncertainty remains

According to current information, only financing for 2025 is secured, and there is also only "scope for everything else or new one". The criticism of the Germany ticket can also be seen in the fact that it allegedly has construction errors that may have led to its failure. Green Group leader Katharina Dröge emphasized that a permanent and reliable solution was required. Instead, there are still political disputes and uncertainties that affect both users and transport associations. At a time when mobility is becoming increasingly important, it remains to be seen how the future of the Germany ticket continues.
