Public transport for families: The price increase makes Germany ticket unattractive!

With a significant increase of 9 euros, the Germany ticket will increase to 58 euros per month from January 1, 2025. This price increase raises questions, especially for families who have to weigh whether the use of bus and train is still worthwhile or whether they continue to rely on a family car. According to a report by

In summary, the price increase of the Germany ticket is a significant problem. If families are unable to completely do without the car, the ticket could become unattractive for them. Greenpeace proposes an alternative model in which adults pay 29 euros and drive children and young people free of charge, which would allow families without a car to save up to 2,000 euros every year.

The price increase is perceived as problematic in the current economic framework, especially since many families already suffer from increasing living costs. As Greenpeace , the long-term success of the Germany ticket depends heavily on the price. Without the agreement of the new federal government to finance and support the public transport, a downward spiral could arise from subscriptions and other price increases.
