Price increase in the Germany ticket: What do passengers need to know?

Ostalbkreis, Deutschland - The Germany ticket, a popular local transport embroidery, experienced a price increase on January 1, 2025. From this date, passengers have to pay 58 euros per month for the ticket, which corresponds to an increase of 9 euros. Despite this increase, the ticket remains inexpensive compared to many conventional subscriptions, especially in the Ostalb district, where there are currently around 30,000 tickets in circulation. The adaptation of the ticket prices is due to the 3 billion euros provided by the federal and state governments, which are intended to cover the increasing costs, such as Remszeitung reported.

prices and discounts for employees

For employees, the D-Ticket Job, which is available from January 2025 for 55.10 euros, is available, provided that the employer supports the ticket with at least 25 percent of the price. An example makes it clear that the final contribution can be 40.60 euros after the discounts have been deducted. The large majority of the existing D-Ticket contracts will be continued automatically, which means that no timely termination is required. The 1st class surcharge for Baden-Württemberg also remains available, as the website of the Deutsche Bahn Notes.

Anyone who has terminated their subscription before December 31, 2024 can simply reactivate it by this date and thus continue at the new prices. Otherwise, passengers have to complete a new subscription at a higher price of 58 euros if you want to continue to use the Germany ticket in January 2025. It is important for all users that an increased transport fee of at least 60 euros can occur without a valid ticket in January, so passengers should carefully pay attention to renew their tickets in good time.
