The total cost to the tax payer is around 3 Billion euros, which as a subsidy is pretty cheap in comparison to the 3-5 Billion euros of subsidies for company cars.
- mytailorisrich 3y agoOr, 3 billion euros is a huge amount of money for something that is not needed... (company cars are neither here nor there, irrelevant) I'd like to read arguments beyond "great, tickets are cheaper!".
- throwaway85858 3y agoI'm not sure on the current data but during the 9 euro ticket trial over last summer 10% of daily commuters shifted from cars to public transport, 17% overall shifted to public transport and 1.8 million tons of CO2 were saved. The company car subsidy on the other hand is definitely NOT climate friendly. https://www.vdv.de/bilanz-9-euro-ticket.aspx https://www.vdv.de/bilanz-9-euro-ticket.aspx
