Deutschlandticket Secured for 2025 with Price Increase to €58

A compromise between SPD, Greens, and Union ensures funding for the popular public transport pass, but its long-term future remains uncertain.

The Deutschlandticket will continue in 2025, with its monthly price rising from €49 to €58 starting January 2025, following an agreement between SPD, Greens, and Union.
The funding agreement involves changes to the Regionalisierungsgesetz, ensuring €1.5 billion annually from both federal and state governments to cover revenue losses for transport providers.
Approximately 13 million people currently use the ticket, which allows unlimited travel on regional and local public transport across Germany.
The deal ensures financial stability for 2025, but discussions on its long-term funding and potential expansions, such as family or social discounts, have been deferred to the next government after February's federal elections.
The Bundestag and Bundesrat are expected to finalize the necessary legislative changes this week, providing clarity for transport operators and users.
