Of course 49€ a month for unlimited local/regional travel is not economic. But it has nothing to do with DB. Local/regional traffic is ordered and financed by the states (Länder). The 49€ ticket is a political project.
DB has long distance, local/regional, and freight business.
How much local/regional traffic companies are harmed by the 49€ ticket I have no numbers handy. But I feel DB is impacted relatively little compared to many other operators.
- account42 2y agoThe local companies are the ones where most people buy their 49€ ticket while I imagine DB gets almost no income from it. Doesn't really matter though as both DB and local operators receive subsidies anyway, including ones specifically introduced for the 49€ ticket.
