What is the 9 euro fare in Germany?

The 9-Euro-Ticket (German pronunciation: [?n???n '????o 't?k?t]) was a German scheme through which passengers could travel for 9 euros (?) per month on local and regional transport in all of Germany.



The "9-euro ticket" was a legendary, one-time promotion in the summer of 2022 that allowed unlimited travel on all local and regional transport across Germany for just €9 per month. It was an experimental measure to combat rising fuel prices and encourage public transit use. In 2026, while the €9 ticket no longer exists, its successor is the Deutschlandticket (D-Ticket). As of early 2026, this flat-rate monthly pass has seen a price increase and now costs approximately €58 to €64 per month (depending on the latest funding agreements between the federal and state governments). Like the original, it covers all buses, trams, U-Bahns, S-Bahns, and regional trains (RB/RE) nationwide, but excludes long-distance high-speed trains like the ICE, IC, or EC. It remains a revolutionary piece of transport policy that has significantly reduced car travel and simplified the once-complex regional fare systems for both locals and tourists alike.
