EVG calls for the expansion of the Germany ticket: no preventive price and more mobility for commuters

EVG to the Germany ticket: "There must be no prevention price"

The Germany ticket at a price of 49 euros has proven to be successful and was well received nationwide. Now, however, the question arises whether it can become a preventive price and whether the offer should be further expanded. In this regard, the chairman of the railway and transport union (EVG), Claus Weselsky.

With regard to the topic of traffic, political rank games are completely inappropriate, emphasizes Weselsky. The back and forth in terms of the Germany ticket not only unsettles passengers, but above all the commuters. Weselsky emphasizes the need for affordable mobility and the expansion of the offer. Above all, more staff and more vehicles are required for this. Ultimately, playing different measures against each other only shall sound climate -friendly mobility.

In order to save costs sensibly, you have to start with unnecessary bureaucracy, Weselsky continues. It could not be that there are still over 60 tariff and transport associations nationwide. This leads to confusion and confusion for passengers, unnecessarily high costs for the taxpayer and disadvantages for the employees due to the confusion for tenders. Transport policy must finally stop acting so small.

The EVG therefore campaigns for a clear and clear transport policy that meets the needs of passengers and at the same time protects the environment. Weselsky emphasizes that an affordable and well -developed range of public transport is essential in order to successfully implement the turnaround in traffic.

The railway and transport union is an important player in transport policy and is actively committed to the interests of employees and passengers.
