Deutschlandticket Price Secured Through 2026, Gradual Increases Expected From 2027

Coalition negotiators propose maintaining the €58 monthly fare for two years, while long-term funding remains unresolved.

Negotiators from CDU, CSU, and SPD have agreed to keep the Deutschlandticket price at €58 per month for 2025 and 2026, with no increases during this period.
From 2027, ticket prices are expected to rise gradually, with increases described as 'socially responsible' under a new funding model.
The long-term continuation of the ticket depends on legislative changes to the Regionalization Act, as current funding is only secured through 2025.
The federal government and states currently share the €3 billion annual subsidy equally, but debates over funding responsibilities persist.
Advocacy groups like Greenpeace support the ticket but caution against further price hikes, emphasizing the need for expanded services and social discounts to ensure accessibility.
