The 9-euro ticket brings a lot of joy and money savings.
Lots of work and overtime for the others.
And the police predicted it and are angry.
Berlin – Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz spent a few days off on Sylt, at least that was confirmed by a spokesman for
Bild
.
Although he himself traveled in the company car, he would have been happy to see so many Whitsun excursionists.
And also that the citizens "often also used the 9-euro ticket".
The police, on the other hand, were obviously not quite so happy about the many Whitsun holidaymakers and day-trippers.
Because time and again she had to intervene when there was a risk of overcrowding in trains or on platforms.
Incomprehension would also come from the German Police Union (DPolG), writes the

.
"We predicted exactly this chaos," said DPolG boss Rainer Wendet.
You have to live in the political bubble not to see that.
9-Euro-Ticket - Saving measures reach the people directly
The rush for the 9-euro ticket is massive, said Scholz.
This shows that the measures are working.
They would reach the citizens directly.
With the campaign ticket, holders can use all buses and trains in local transport nationwide in June, July and August for 9 euros per month.
According to the transport industry, seven million tickets were sold even before the start.
At the same time, a reduced energy tax applies.
The tax burden is thus reduced by 35.2 cents per liter for premium petrol and by 16.7 cents per liter for diesel.
