In another, significant message, the Senate presented a decisive decision on October 10, 2023: The reduced sales price for the Berlin ticket S will be extended by December 31, 2025. The monthly prize was reduced to only 9 euros on January 1, 2023 and enables low -income citizens to access public transport in Berlin. This offer is particularly important for people who rely on social benefits, including citizens' money, social assistance and more, such as viz.berlin.de

Social Senator Cansel Kiziltepe emphasized the relevance of this social ticket: "The 9-euro social ticket is a concrete relief for the poorest people in our city. With this, we humans ensure the necessary mobility with little money and enable social participation in the city." This initiative represents an important step to promote mobility in the capital and to facilitate access to public transport for everyone, even if there are no meetings of the Senate in the right time.
