A never-before 9 euro train ticket will be valid in Germany for the month of June, July and August.
Each ticket is valid for only one calendar month, no matter when it is purchased.
This means that whether you buy your nine-euro ticket on June 1 or June 20, the ticket will still expire at the end of June. In order to ride the bus, rail, trams, or metro in July or August, you will have to buy another nine-euro ticket for that month. If you use the flat-rate ticket for all three months, the total cost will be 27 euros.
In an effort to deal with increasing energy costs caused by the war in Ukraine, the government has made this project aimed at reducing the rising cost of living and encouraging more people to take public transportation. Ticket sales began in some areas and outlets as early as May 9, but the initiative only gained final approval on May 20.
The 9 euro travel permit is available to anyone at all. Not just Germans, but tourists can also enjoy the benefits of this project. Children under 6 always travel for free and as such, have no need for a ticket. Whereas, those above 6 will need their own regular ticket or “9 euro ticket”
