Before the decision on the 9-euro ticket in the Bundestag and Bundesrat, Brandenburg’s Transport Minister Guido Beermann (CDU) demanded significantly more money from the federal government for local public transport. “The necessary expansion of the offer and its attractive design can only succeed if the federal government fulfills its responsibility for financing,” he emphasized. The traffic light coalition promised more money in the coalition agreement. “This has to be implemented now.” Without sustainable financing of local public transport, the 9-euro ticket threatens to become a flash in the pan, said the minister.
