Öffentlicher Nahverkehr: Preis für Deutschlandticket steigt auf 66,80 Euro ab Januar
Mehr als 14,5 Millionen Menschen nutzen das Deutschlandticket. Nun steigt der Preis erneut – erstmals bestimmt eine Formel die Höhe des Abos. Politischer Streit soll so vermieden werden.
Ab January 2027, the Germany ticket, a monthly pass for public transport in Germany, will cost 66.80 Euros instead of the previous 63 Euros. This increase was decided by the Coordination Council, a group of transport ministry department heads. The job ticket, a discounted version, will now be 63.46 Euros, and a semester ticket will be 40.08 Euros.
Currently, around 14.5 million people use the Germany ticket. The price increase comes after it was previously 48 Euros in 2024, then 58 Euros in 2025, and 63 Euros in 2026. The price is now set via a formula based on statistical data about cost trends in labor and energy. This method was used to avoid political disputes over funding each year.
The price increase was welcomed by NRW Transport Minister Oliver Krischer, who criticized the current system for promising price stability in the coalition agreement.
