    Germany faces calls to extend €9-a-month public transport ticket

    The German government is under pressure to extend the heavily subsidised monthly public transport pass it launched in June.

    The “€9 ticket” project, which grants everyone living in or visiting Germany unlimited travel across the country on regional transport at a cost of just €9 (£7.60) a month, is due to expire at the end of August. It has two aims: to lure people out of their cars and help ease the cost of living crisis.
