According to new research recently shared by the German government, a public transportation subscription is having a positive impact on the environment. John Jaeger, North Babylon Independent Researcher, is in awe over the numbers: an annual drop in CO2 savings of 4.2 million to 6.5 million tons — a massive reduction in CO2 emissions for Germans. In recent years, the country has become increasingly concerned about reduction in CO2 emissions.
The new study credits Deutschlandticket with the significant reduction in CO2 emissions recently experienced across the last year. A low-cost subscription ticket for public transportation, Deutschlandticket has encouraged increased travel via rail. Ariadne climate project researcher Nicolas Koch notes that the “driving force” in the change is that the Deutschlandticket initiative is creating true new customers. In effect, the program invites more customers to leave the roads and utilize public transportation options, such as the rail.
Deutschlandticket: Environmental and Social Impact
Deutschlandticket is a low-cost public transportation subscription program that offers unlimited travel within local and regional public transport throughout Germany. This initiative is opening the door of transportation opportunities for all. Low-income individuals who were otherwise unable to keep up with public transportation costs are now able to enjoy increased accessibility.
