The German government intends to maintain the Deutschlandticket program and has earmarked €1.5 billion in funding for its continuation next year. This commitment is detailed in a draft amendment to the Regionalisation Act, as reported by Politico.

The draft legislation formalizes the extension of the Deutschlandticket beyond 2025, implementing an agreement initially enshrined in the coalition treaty. The plan stipulates that the federal government and the individual states will jointly finance the Deutschlandticket with €1.5 billion each in 2026. This continued funding ensures the accessibility of the subsidized travel option moving forward.
