Deutschlandticket: Germany’s €49 ticket pushes passenger numbers up 25%
Greetings from Austria!We have a similar thing going on where you can buy an every-train-and-other-public-transport-in-Austria ticket. It is called the "climate ticket" ( https://www.klimaticket.at/ )The price is EUR 1.095/year for regular adults (1.205 for the family ticket [=1 adult + up to 4 kids] and 825 for youth/seniors)I'm a happy owner since it's 2 year existence and have recently been baffled by the prices DB is asking when I did a trip to Berlin by ICE...It's a great peace of mind to just hop onto any bus/tram/train in the country and not have to worry about tickets, and i think it's a great step towards getting more traffic from the streets to the rail.
