Even before advance sales for the new Deutschlandticket start, a new problem arises: when purchasing, there is often a Schufa check. If the credit rating is bad, there is no ticket.

At the beginning of February, Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) wanted to clear up all doubts about the Germany ticket, which should finally start on May 1, 2023. During a Bundestag debate, he stood at the desk and praised the successor to the nine-euro ticket as “a multi-talent.” Not only does it strengthen climate-friendly mobility and increase the attractiveness of local public transport. The ticket also relieves the citizens, said Wissing in the Bundestag. And many people could use some relief right now, as the prices for food and ancillary costs have risen sharply in recent months.
