BW minister finds price increase for Deutschlandticket justifiable

The Deutschlandticket will cost 58 euros from January next year. This was decided today by the transport ministers of the states. Baden-Württemberg’s transport minister Winfried Hermann (Greens) called the price increase of nine euros justifiable. The Deutschlandticket is a key component in promoting local public transport, said Hermann.

According to the Ministry of Transport, the state of Baden-Württemberg spends 170 million euros per year on financing. The SPD and FDP in the state parliament also find the price increase acceptable and fair.
