But I thought the whole point of the German thing was to give everyone a little something?
This seems very targeted at one specific group (those commuting regularly) that is only a small part of the population affected by the cost increases. In fact train tickets have not increased anyway.
It seems a bit strange giving one group so much and the rest nothing.

I mean that's the whole point, right? If we want to "give everyone a little something", we should increase capacity as well.

In parallel there was a 0.30 Euro subsidy on petrol ("Tankrabatt") and a 300 Euro one-off payment for employees (in September I think). Plus subsidy on gas for heating is being discussed. Taken together a lot was given, not only to one group.
