Price increase for D-Ticket Youth BW: Young people have to pay more!

From January 2025, users of the D-Ticket JugendBW will have to dig deeper into their pockets! The price of the popular ticket for young people in Baden-Württemberg increases by a whopping nine euros per month, so that it will cost 39.42 euros in the future. This increase directly follows the price adjustment of the Germany ticket, which then costs 58 euros. A decision that is described as "unavoidable" in the Ministry of Transport. Transport Minister Winfried Hermann said that the price increase was painful but necessary.

Despite the price increase, the President of the Baden-Württemberg, Frank Mentrup, is optimistic. He sees an attractive offer for young people in the D-Ticket JugendBW, which is to continue to be used. The municipalities and the state of Baden-Württemberg jointly bear the financial burdens, with the country covering 70 percent of the costs. However, this innovation could influence the continuation of the D ticket in the long term because the financing depends heavily on the Germany ticket. More information on these changes and the backgrounds are in a recent report on www.tagesschau.de to be found.
