Milestone for mobility: Germany ticket now also to France
for Marcel Labonte, chairman of the Rhineland-Palatinate railway and traffic union, is the new offer of the Germany ticket for mobility. It enables travelers from Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Baden-Württemberg to be conveniently and environmentally friendly, which contributes to strengthening the overall traffic in Europe. The D-Ticket (including a young people's ticket SL and D-Ticket JugendBW) applies in July and August for people under the age of 28 with residence in Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland in the French region of Grand Est. It is important that passport or ID card is shown to demonstrate the residence of the traveler. The tickets are only valid in regional trains and not on the trains of long -distance transport such as TGV, ICE or IC. There is a reservation obligation on some French routes, but can be made free of charge via the "SNCF Connect" app.
The introduction of the Germany ticket to France has great local relevance for Berlin. Berlin is not only the capital of Germany, but also a significant traffic hub with a major impact on national and international mobility. The connection between Berlin and France is of great importance for business travelers, tourists and the cultural exchange between the two countries. The expansion of the Germany ticket offers the Berliners another environmentally friendly way to travel to France and to discover the cultural, gastronomic and scenic treasures of the neighboring country.
Historically speaking, relationships between Germany and France were often shaped by political tensions. However, bilateral relationships have improved significantly since the signing of the Élysée Treaty in 1963. The contract was an important milestone in Franco-German history because it promoted cooperation in the areas of politics, business, education and culture. Over the years, the relationship between the two countries has become increasingly narrower, which is also reflected in the transport connection. The introduction of the Germany ticket to France is another step to strengthen this cooperation and to facilitate mobility between the two countries.The following table lists the relevant information about the Germany ticket to France:
