Today in Germany: A roundup of the latest news on Friday
Briefly

The future of Germany's nationwide transport ticket, the Deutschlandticket, is uncertain as federal and state transport ministers convene to discuss its financing beyond 2025. Launched in May 2023, this ticket grants access to regional and local public transport across Germany but risks cancellation if an agreement isn't reached. Meanwhile, the Bundestag has approved significant tax breaks for businesses, aimed at boosting economic recovery. As financing disputes unsettle consumers, calls for reliable solutions intensify, highlighting a wider struggle within the transport sector.
The federal and state transport ministers are meeting in Berlin to negotiate the financing of the Deutschlandticket beyond 2025, which could be scrapped if no agreement is reached.
It is unacceptable that millions of people have to worry about their Deutschlandticket again and again. We expect the transport ministers to agree on permanent and reliable financing.
