The “Fifty-Fifty Taxi Ticket” in Saxony-Anhalt will be discontinued at the end of the year. After more than 25 years, this brings to a close an initiative intended to enable young people to get a discounted ride home from parties and events.
Decline in demand
The number of tickets sold has been declining for years. In 2015, 38,835 vouchers were redeemed; in 2024 it was only 7,644. By the end of July 2025, 4,237 tickets had been used. In light of this trend, the participating partners had already agreed at the beginning of the year to end the program.
Target audience and how it worked
The offer was aimed at 16- to 26-year-olds. They could purchase a ticket for 1.25 euros that had a value of 2.50 euros. The difference was covered by the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the ADAC and the East German Savings Banks Association. The vouchers were valid for outbound and return trips to clubs, public events or private parties in participating taxis.
Initial motivation
The initiative was launched in 1999. The background was the high number of accidents involving young people on their way home from parties. Discounted taxi rides were intended to improve road safety.
Changing mobility patterns
According to the Interior Ministry, young people’s mobility patterns have changed. Today, more carpools are being formed, parents are doing the driving, or they are relying on local public transport.
A look at other federal states
Discounted taxi schemes for young people are also in place in other regions, including Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. In Saxony-Anhalt, the model is now being phased out for good.
