Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - The demand for the 9-euro ticket in Hesse continues. More than a million tickets have already been sold, as the Ministry of Transport announced at the request of the German Press Agency. Around 900,000 tickets were sold in the Rhein-Main transport association area alone and just over 100,000 in the North Hessian transport association area.
The 9-euro ticket is valid for June, July and August nationwide on all buses, trams, subways, S-Bahn and local and regional trains - regardless of whether they are from Deutsche Bahn or other providers. The long-distance traffic of Deutsche Bahn with ICE, Intercity and Eurocity cannot be used. Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner had recently dampened expectations that there could be follow-up rules for the ticket in September.
