There are already more people in Berlin and Brandenburg who use the new subscription in a form. Around 603,000 subscriptions are Germany tickets, of which around 128,000 Germany ticket jobs are included. The plus is around 24,000 subscribers.
The trend is also positive nationwide. In June, around 9.5 million people had a valid Germany ticket. At the beginning of July there were already over ten million. The increase is mainly due to former bus and train drivers who had previously used tickets and day tickets.
The proportion of switching on the Germany ticket is 33 percent, another ten percent have been switched from time cards that have not been purchased on the subscription. Nine percent of the new customers have previously or not used public transport, for example because they drove by car beforehand.
Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing brought an EU-wide recognition of the Germany ticket and corresponding offers from other Member States. However, the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV) sees this as a long -term vision, since the financing, approval and planning security of the Germany ticket are still open for 2024.
