Germans can travel the country for just €9, for the next three months. A drive is formed to tackle the soaring cost of living.

Apart from the inter-city trains, the inducement will include all local and regional transport on trains.

The initiative will lead the car drivers to leave their cars, and buy tickets for train.

The fuel tax is also reduced by around 30 liters for petrol.

It has reduced below €2.

Diesel prices are also reducing by around 14 cents a liter.

It matches the EU minimum.

Transport Minister, Volker Wissing, says, “It’s a success that we’ve already sold seven million tickets.”

Therefore, Deutsche Bahn, a train company is struggling due to overcrowding.

The plan is criticized solely due to cancellations and delays, as extra passengers enter, having favored the plan.

In April, fewer than 70% of long-distance trains arrived on schedule, while Mr. Wissing claims the rail network is only operating at 80% capacity.

In the hours following the scheme’s implementation on Wednesday morning, no serious train issues were recorded.

Germans, like the rest of the world, are struck hard by rising energy prices, with inflation reaching 7.9% last month.

On Wednesday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told members of the German parliament that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was the primary cause of price increases.

The federal administration, which includes the Green Party, provides €2.5 billion in compensation to Germany’s 16 state governments to cover the predicted increases in staffing and fuel expenses.

Although the €9 ticket does not include intercity travel, regional trains can be used to travel throughout the nation.
