The federal and state governments have agreed to start the 49-euro monthly ticket for local transport on May 1st. That said NRW Transport Minister Oliver Krischer (Greens) as Chairman of the Transport Ministers’ Conference on Friday after the meeting of a federal-state working group. The approval of the EU Commission is still pending.
Last summer, millions of passengers used the nine-euro ticket during a three-month discount campaign. As a permanent successor, the nationwide ticket for 49 euros a month for buses and trains in local and regional transport is to come in May.
