Berliners can now pre-order the Germany ticket. The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) are banging the drums for the 49-euro ticket with a major advertising campaign. It applies from May. The advertising slogans: “Bavaria now belongs to Berlin” or “From Neukölln to Cologne”.
All 650,000 BVG regular customers will receive an offer by letter or email in the next few days. Your previous VBB subscription will be compared with the Deutschlandticket.
► Advantage VBB environmental card (AB): Transferable to friends or family +++ From 8 p.m. during the week and all day on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, an additional adult and three children can travel with you (both are important for around 30 to 40 percent of customers) +++ You can choose the Also take a dog with you. The price for an annual subscription with monthly payment from May: 66.90 euros/month.
► Advantage Germany ticket: Valid throughout Germany in local and regional transport (like the 9-euro ticket in 2022). An extra: Dogs can be taken along for free in the entire VBB area. This ticket can only be purchased as a subscription, the price is debited monthly: 49 euros.
The Deutschland-Ticket is also available as a chip card. Upon request, it can be sent by post once the subscription has been taken out, or it can be taken out and picked up on the spot at the customer center Photo: BVG
SCHÜLER continue to ride for free in Berlin. If you want a Germany ticket for further tours, you pay 49 euros like adults.
SENIORS with the 65plus subscription do not have to worry about a thing. Your subscription will automatically be changed to a Germany ticket because it offers you more advantages at the same price – dogs also travel for free in Brandenburg.
CORPORATE CUSTOMERS travel even cheaper with a discounted Germany ticket. Depending on the subsidy from their employer, employees pay a maximum of 34.30 euros/month.
This is how the Germany ticket is displayed on the mobile phone. You have to enter your name and show your ID when asked to do so Photo: BVG
How to order the Deutschland-Ticket or change existing subscriptions?
Online with three mouse clicks (BVG.de/Deutschlandticket). For the first time in the history of the BVG, the subscription is offered as a mobile ticket in one of the three BVG apps (there is also a EUR 25 voucher for mobility sharing).
To get started on May 1st, you would have to switch by April 10th. You can also have the Deutschland-Ticket sent to you as a chip card. In the nine customer centers that are open daily, plastic cards will soon also be available on the spot – and also at the last minute at the end of April.
By the way: The 29-euro ticket reduced by the state of Berlin expires in April. An extension was promised during the election campaign – whether it actually comes depends on the next coalition agreement of the then ruling Senate.
