D-Ticket JugendBW: Successful replacement of the popular youth ticket

New D-Ticket JugendBW with great popularity

The new D-Ticket JugendBW, which replaced the popular youth ticket on December 1, 2023, is already very popular. The previous sales figures of the youth ticketbw show that more than half a million young people have acquired the ticket by October 2023. Transport Minister Winfried Hermann is happy about the positive response and draws a positive balance.

The youth ticketing was sold a total of 578,788 times, and in addition 83,274 time cards were sold for training transactions that made up 87 percent of all time trial certificates sold. A total of 662,000 people in Baden-Württemberg acquired a time card in training in 2023, which corresponds to an increase in demand of 8.3 percent compared to the reference year 2021

With the new D-Ticket JugendBW, young people can use bus and train for only one euro a day. The ticket is a joint initiative of the country, the districts and city districts as well as the transport associations, whereby the country covers the majority of the costs.

The response to the youth ticket and the new D-Ticket JugendBW is consistently positive. A survey by Bwegt in June 2023 showed that 44 percent of the relevant target group knew the youth ticket. In addition, around 90 percent of those surveyed stated that they would recommend the ticket to a customer survey in the summer of 2023.

Minister Winfried Hermann is optimistic that the sales figures will continue to increase, as the offer relieves young people financially and offers them significant advantages. In addition, the use of public transport contributes to the traffic transition and is aligned in favor of climate protection.

The D-Ticket JugendBW has the chance to have a lasting impact on the mobility behavior of young people and to establish local public transport more. The previous successes will hope for a promising future for the ticket and the turnover of traffic.
