Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder is pushing to abolish the much-debated Deutschlandticket unless the federal government covers its costs. Highlighting the poor economic climate and need for infrastructure investment, Söder suggests the ticket’s current structure is unsustainable. He proposes replacing it with a temporary 49-euro holiday ticket to ease travel for residents. The funding challenges arise as the coalition government faces instability, with potential impacts on public transport accessibility across the country. As costs rise, the ticket’s future hinges on federal financing, raising concerns for the public transport system’s viability.
