Association demands "Germany Ticket Plus" with taxi connection for rural areas
In the lead-up to the special conference of transport ministers on Friday, the Taxi and Rental Car Association of Germany (TMV) is calling on political decision-makers for a fundamental shift in transport policy. The association is urging the ministries to go beyond piecemeal individual measures and to decide on a nationwide modernization and mobility pact for public transportation (ÖPNV).
Germany Ticket to be Expanded
A central element of the demand is an expansion of the existing Germany ticket. The TMV advocates for a so-called "Germany Ticket Plus," which additionally includes taxi rides. This is particularly necessary in rural areas, where the public transport offering is often insufficient in the evening hours and on weekends.
Financing: Federal Government and States Jointly Responsible
For implementation, the association proposes a clear distribution of tasks. According to this, the federal government should fully finance the current Deutschlandticket. The states, on the other hand, should provide their own funds in the same amount to specifically promote the expansion of offerings in structurally weak regions.
Mobility Justice as a Guiding Principle
The association cites increased mobility justice as an overarching goal. Only through a noticeable improvement in accessibility in all regions can public transport become a genuine alternative to motorized individual transport. However, this requires a structurally and financially coordinated overall strategy at both the federal and state levels.
