Ministry of Transport - Germany ticket stop: NRW has no similar plans
Following the stop for the Deutschlandticket in the district of Stendal in Saxony-Anhalt, the North Rhine-Westphalian Ministry of Transport assumes that this is an isolated case. "We are not aware of any similar projects in North Rhine-Westphalia," a spokesperson for the NRW Ministry told the German Press Agency.
The financing of the Deutschlandticket is regulated by a resolution of the federal and state governments. The Conference of Minister Presidents had also instructed the transport ministries to draw up a concept for the long-term financing of the ticket. "This concept is currently being drawn up," the spokesperson continued.
Last week, the Stendal district council did not approve a resolution to recognize the Deutschlandticket in the district. This means that the ticket will no longer be valid on buses there from January 1. The district had expected additional costs of 40,000 euros for the first four months of the year. Trains are not affected by the decision. The Ministry of Infrastructure in Magdeburg spoke of an isolated case.
