From January 2025, the Deutschlandticket is priced at €63 per month — an increase of €9 compared to the previous year. It continues to cover all local and regional public transport nationwide and remains primarily targeted at daily commuters. The 18.4% price rise was driven by surging energy costs and increased operational expenses across the transit network.
The Key Numbers:
- New price: €63 per month (from January 2025)
- Number of users affected: Around 11 million people across Germany
- Drivers of the increase: Higher energy prices, general inflation, and infrastructure investment
- Better value alternative: TicketPlus+ adds 50 free e-bike minutes and a pause function on top of the same €63 ticket
