Germany's Nationwide Public Transport Goes Affordable with €49 Monthly Ticket.

More than 3 million people have purchased the new Germany Ticket, which allows unlimited use of local and regional trains, buses, and metros across the country for €49 per month. The ticket is intended to encourage environmentally friendly transportation and simplify Germany's complex public transit system. The ticket is not valid for long-distance intercity trains, but will significantly reduce costs for regular commuters. The ticket is already subsidized, but anti-poverty campaigners are calling for further discounts for low-income families and young people.
