Deutschlandticket Price Freeze Proposed Through 2026, with Increases Planned for 2027

Coalition negotiators from CDU, CSU, and SPD back continued funding of the €58 monthly pass while debating long-term financial sustainability.

The Deutschlandticket will remain at its current price of €58 per month through 2025 and 2026, according to proposals from coalition negotiations.
A price increase starting in 2027 is planned, with a focus on socially acceptable adjustments and increased user contributions.
The current funding model, requiring €1.5 billion annually each from federal and state governments, is only secured through 2025.
The SPD supports the ticket’s continuation at an affordable price, while the CDU/CSU raises concerns about its financial sustainability and rural accessibility.
Environmental groups and transit advocates, including Greenpeace, have called for expanded services and social ticket options to enhance affordability and accessibility.
