AAttention, a revolution starts on Monday! Don’t worry, it won’t be held on the streets. A little at most, on the city bus. But especially on the rails. And she will remain peaceful.

It makes public transport cheaper and easier. For only 49 euros a month, ticket holders can use the S-Bahn and U-Bahn, trams and local buses, regional trains and even some ferries in Berlin and Hamburg throughout Germany. Every single journey is then free of charge. When staying in a foreign city, nobody has to worry about the peculiarities of the tariff system there.
