A European heavyweight has announced plans to offer unlimited public transport for less than NZ$15 a month. Germany has introduced the new travel pass for just €9 which is available across the country’s local buses, U-Bahns, S-Bahns, trams, as well as local and regional trains.
Like many countries, Germany is facing a spiralling cost of living crisis thanks in part to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The new pass is a response to high petrol costs.
The German government has approved the €2.5 billion (NZ$4.1 billion) subsidy, with the federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing already hailing it a “success”, reports The Local.
