Germany Secures Future of Deutschlandticket Beyond 2025

Coalition agreement confirms gradual price increases from 2029 and comprehensive public transport reforms.

The Deutschlandticket, a nationwide public transport pass, will remain available beyond 2025, ensuring continued accessibility for commuters.
Starting in 2029, ticket prices will gradually increase as part of a shift toward more user-funded contributions in a socially balanced manner.
A fixed cost-sharing model between customers, the federal government, and states will provide financial stability and planning security for the system.
Current federal and state contributions of €1.5 billion each annually will be restructured under a new legal framework, alongside a modernization pact for public transport.
Reforms to Deutsche Bahn include unbundling DB InfraGO, restructuring its board, and overhauling the railway track usage fee system to improve efficiency.
