Germany S 9 Train Ticket System Saved 1.8 Million Tonnes Of Co2 Emissions Germany

Since it was introduced on June 1 to cut fuel consumption and ease the cost-of-living crisis, some 52 million tickets have been sold, a fifth of them to people who did not normally use public transport. The program is expected to end on Wednesday. The Association of German Transport Companies (VDV), which carried out the research, said the number of people who switched from cars to public transport as a result of the €9 ticket was behind emissions savings. “The popularity of the €9 tickets has been undiminished and their positive impact on tackling climate change is verifiable,” VDV said. It said the emissions saved were equivalent to powering 350,000 homes and a similar reduction would be seen over the course of a year if Germany introduced a speed limit on its motorways. A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 tonnes of carbon per year. Olaf Solz, the chancellor, who has come under fire for what some have interpreted as an indifferent attitude to Germany’s rising fuel prices and the sharp rise in the cost of living in recent months, praised the scheme, calling the €9 ticket “Our best idea yet.” The regime is also believed to have helped keep inflation, currently around 8%, slightly lower than it would otherwise be. Passengers not only praised the system’s cheapness, but enjoyed its simplicity as it cut down on a range of complications ranging from a myriad of transport zones to ticket categories that vary greatly from region to region. Just over 37% of people who bought the ticket used it to go to work, 50% used it for daily trips such as shopping or seeing the doctor, 40% to visit people and 33% for day trips. Excursions . “I’ve traveled from Bavaria in the south to Rostock in the north and I’ve seen places I wouldn’t have bothered to visit otherwise,” Ronald Schenck, 80, told a regional television network. “It saved me a fortune and I had a lot of fun with it.” Government and regional administrations are under enormous pressure to continue the ticket in some form. The expectation is that any replacement would cost at least six times as much, but surveys show enthusiasm for such a plan is high. The most important stories on the planet.

According to Germany’s federal environment agency, the environmental damage resulting from one tonne of CO2 emissions amounts to around 180 euros. That calculation will be used as an argument for why the government should continue to subsidize a cheap transit program in the future, activists said, after some officials said it was too expensive to continue at a time of soaring living costs. However, critics cited overcrowded trains and passengers often unable to bring bikes as reasons for the scheme not to be repeated. There are also concerns that if cheap fares continue there will be less money available to boost transport networks, which are particularly poor in rural areas, with connectivity between independent services sometimes non-existent. Ticket sales in rural areas were the lowest, which is believed to be due to the poor availability of public transport there. VDV conducted around 6,000 interviews a week – in total, around 78,000 – with passengers across the country, in collaboration with national rail operator Deutsche Bahn and marketing research organizations Forsa and RC Research.
