The Deutschlandticket, which is valid for nationwide local and regional transport, will continue to be available in Berlin for 49 euros. Berliners will be able to buy it from next week, announced Economics Senator Franziska Giffey (SPD).
The Berlin Senate has agreed on this despite current austerity constraints. Bavaria complains about Berlin in advance – because of a special route. Bavarian Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter (CSU) is angry that Berlin is going it alone, for which the rest of Germany could ultimately pay. The Free State can only maintain the Germany ticket "with a deep dig into the state treasury," criticizes the minister in the government of Markus Söder (CSU) in the Berliner government. The ticket was a central election promise of the SPD before the Berlin election and applies to the Berlin urban area. It was a tariff revolution. Its financing has been in jeopardy several times. It's the same now again.
