Germany’s 49-euro ticket resulted in significant modal shift from road to rail - Lemmy.World

Meanwhile in North America, Canada’s VIA is operating on a shoestring and being further threatened … and in the last 50 years the US has pulled up most of the rails that were installed in the previous century. We’re stuck with airplanes, hybrid metro-transit, and what’s left of Greyhound. But, hey, we’ve got a world to police!

Too bad the announced price increase undoes about half of that
Do you have a link to the increase? I did hear a out it but everything I see online just says it’s extended in to 2024.
Preisanpassung des Deutschlandtickets ab 1. Januar 2025

Ab 1. Januar 2025 kostet das Deutschlandticket 58 Euro. Die Preiserhöhung sichert die Finanzierung des ÖPNV. Es bleibt bundesweit gültig.

Thanks. Shame it’s increasing but 58EUR is still pretty good value, no?
Increasing the price by almost a fifth under a “center-left” government means this thing is just doomed once the right gets into power next year
