“Nine-euro” public transport pass to be introduced in Hungary?
Change language:
László Palkovics, the minister of technology and industry, had talks with Volker Wissing, Germany’s minister of transport and digital infrastructure, in Berlin on Wednesday.
After the talks, Palkovics said the Hungarian government would consider the system of Germany’s “nine-euro” public transport pass. He said the German government had made a wise decision to put a cap on the price of fuels and introduce the cheap passes, which he said were very popular and made a lot of drivers switch to public transport.
“The Hungarian government will study this solution and soon make a decision on the matter,”
Palkovics said.
Germany offers the monthly passes costing nine euros for the summer months, valid for local public transport services as well as regional services of the Deutsche Bahn.
Only for Hungarians – I should hope, like the price capped petrol?
I bet Mr. Palkovics promised Mr. Wissing that he would see to it that Hungarians would not use the German EUR 9 scheme – taking misplaced advantage of German rules… We would understand!
