It doesn’t matter whether it’s on the bus, train, tram, S-Bahn or U-Bahn: the Deutschlandticket has been valid since this Monday. For 49 euros per month you can use everything that falls under the heading of “local public transport” throughout Germany. So: buses and trains from local transport companies, trams, underground and suburban trains in the big cities, regional trains and regional express trains from Deutsche Bahn. However, the project started immediately with technical problems. And many say: The ticket is too expensive to really advance the traffic turnaround. SZ traffic expert Christina Kunkel explains in this episode why it is still a good first step for her.
