From a Bavarian point of view, the federal government must cover the costs entirely in the future, “after all, the Germany ticket – as the name suggests – was a federal wish.” Bernreiter is also the chairman of the Conference of Ministers.

Former funds are only laid down for this year. The federal government gives a grant of 1.5 billion euros each year to compensate for loss of income for transport companies – because most public transport subscriptions were significantly more expensive beforehand. The countries also give a total of 1.5 billion euros. The Union had already left the future of the ticket open.
