Because BVG and S-Bahn need two weeks to switch machines and app for the planned start of sales on October 1st.
The status according to BZ information:
► At 29 euros for Zone AB, the subsidy from the Berlin state budget for three months would be in the high double-digit millions.
► Brandenburg has not yet sent any positive signals to participate. Giffey is working on convincing Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (60, SPD).
