Public Transport: Consumer Advice Centres Demand Uniform Ticket System for Public Transport
The federal association praises the Germany ticket and suggests reducing the ticket system to five types of tickets. In times of high fuel prices, this makes public transport more attractive, it says.
The German Consumer Protection Association is calling for a unified and simple fare model for public transportation throughout Germany. The association's chair, Ramona Pop, says that the current system is confusing, with many different ticket options and zones. The association proposes a time-based system with just five ticket types, valid for 15, 30, 60, 120 minutes, or 24 hours.
This system would be easy to understand and use, and would make public transportation more attractive, especially for occasional users. The proposed system would be available digitally and in analog form, such as at ticket machines.
