Temporary introduction of a 9-Euro-Ticket
The 9-Euro-Ticket is a clear signal as regards local public transport and climate action in Germany. Under the scheme, local public transport will be offered throughout Germany from June 2022 up to and including August 2022 for just € 9 per month.
In June 2022, we recorded an increase in demand from 20% in passenger kilometers compared with pre-Covid-19 levels. For June 2022, more than 30 million 9-Euro-Tickets had been sold or used by subscribers.
Alongside additional service staff, the use of more trains or cars and the deployment of relief buses, mobile maintenance was expanded and cleaning intervals on the trains were increased to ensure that vehicle capacities were available. The focus was also on providing more employees in trains and control centers. Proactive customer communication was also expanded.
