Consumers: Transport companies: extend 9-euro tickets until October

The local transport industry is campaigning for the 9-euro ticket to be extended by two more months. "We need a successor solution quickly," says Oliver Wolff, general manager of the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV) of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" (Friday). "It would be best to extend the campaign by a further two months as an interim solution. The ticket could continue to be valid in September and October, thus relieving citizens of the high energy prices," emphasized Wolff.
