Several parties in the MV Landtag have shown support for a new 9-Euro ticket replacement. However, the source of funding remains a mystery. Only this month can you take advantage of the country-wide offer.
Ministerpräsidentin Manuela Schwesig (SPD) of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is open to a north German solution, but believes that the federal government is now required to provide one. “As a country, we are committed to ensuring that the federal government extends the 9-euro ticket, at least for the pendlers and pendlerinnen,” she said on Monday in Schwerin. The willingness of the federal government to fund a follow-on ticket is said to be decisive, according to the economic ministry. Once these questions are answered, further planning can proceed.
MV Landtagsfraktion der Grünen: If the federal government is unable to come up with a funding solution, the northern states should cooperate. As a transportation advocate, Jutta Wegner says it is time to make the public transportation system more convenient and affordable for everyone. It would be a practical thing if Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen, Hamburg, Niedersachsen, and MV could work together to find a solution.
