Germany is hoping for an extension of the 9-euro ticket. That seems impossible – but the Greens presented two new options for a successor.
Berlin – The validity of the 9-euro ticket expires at the end of August – much to the frustration of many Germans who have taken a liking to the cheap monthly ticket. That’s why politicians have been looking for a successor to the 9-euro ticket for weeks. As a result, the so-called “0-euro ticket” for employees and the climate ticket for buses and trains were among the items on the agenda. But so far none of the ideas have caught on. That is why the Greens are now again presenting two options for a cheap successor to the 9-euro ticket.
What will follow the 9-euro ticket from September? Kreiszeitung.de reveals what the Greens’ proposal is all about.
The Greens’ concept includes two different affordable monthly tickets that help the climate and should continue to relieve the burden on citizens. But not everyone is enthusiastic about the proposal. In particular, the potential financing route for this 9-euro ticket successor is causing dissatisfaction with the FDP – which Finance Minister Christian Lindner can also clearly see.
