Starting from May 1, 2023, Germany will introduce a nationwide ticket called “Deutschlandticket” that allows citizens to use public transportation throughout the country for €49 per month. The ticket can be purchased digitally through an app or on a chip card, and it is valid for all participating local and regional transport companies, state tariffs, and transport associations. Children under six travel for free, and existing subscriptions or job tickets can be converted to the Deutschlandticket or retained based on customer preference. The ticket is not transferable, and passengers may need to provide identification during checks. The Deutschlandticket is funded by the federal government and states, with a total of €1.5 billion annually for loss compensation, and is part of the government’s effort to promote digitalization and accessibility in public transportation.
