Berlin’s Finance Senator Stefan Evers (CDU) is sticking to a new edition of the 29-euro ticket.
“We will do everything we can. To do this, we work on several levels and have to come to an understanding with Brandenburg, for example,” Evers told the Berliner Morgenpost.
Among other things, it needs to be clarified how the ticket will be specifically designed. “With the Germany ticket for 49 euros, we now have a basis on which to build if necessary,” explained the Finance Senator. The traffic administration is currently examining this. “But the goal is firmly agreed: the reintroduction of the 29-euro ticket for everyone.”
Evers did not name a specific date for the new edition of the 29-euro ticket. This depends, among other things, on which model you agree on and how you reach an agreement with Brandenburg. “And of course from the options that we still have in the budget this year,” says Evers.
The new coalition of the CDU and SPD wants to promote the renovation of buildings, the switch to renewable energies and the traffic turnaround with special assets of at least five billion euros.
In local transport, the 29-euro ticket and the 9-euro social ticket are to be retained. Rail transport and cargo bikes should be promoted, but without turning away from the car.
