Spain is ramping up to follow Germany’s Deutschland Ticket, which gives nationwide public transit access for a flat rate.
I love our Deutschland Tickets. The subscription system is wonky, but once you have it running it’s wonderful.
Nice work, Spain!
It’s a good price, but should be lowered over time. Drop it below inflation to push people into transit over driving. That said, the pillars of German economic thinking still revolve.around car manufacturing, so it’s a tough sell.
May we should make it cost an inverse amount to how badly DB does every year? I don’t know, but 63€ isn’t killer, but we have five people to pay for and kindergeld isn’t going up as fast as the D-ticket is. Nor is my raise, of course.
