Last year, the German government’s gift to tourists wanting to explore more of the country (as well as citizens struggling with inflation) was a €9 monthly (RM41) ticket granting unlimited access to all nationwide trains and buses except high-speed rail.
This year, after much wrangling and many calls for the experiment to be reinstated, the German government wants to make mobility affordable again, albeit this time at a higher price.
