Citizens can expect the introduction of a so-called Germany ticket in local transport.

"The Germany ticket will come now, also very quickly," said Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) after a meeting of the Prime Ministers' Conference (MPK) on Thursday evening in Berlin.

"We have now removed all the hurdles so that those responsible in the federal states and the transport companies can now do everything to ensure that this progresses quickly and efficiently."

Berlin - The Germany ticket for buses and trains in local transport with an introductory price of 49 euros per month should therefore start in the new year.

It is intended to tie in with the popular 9-euro ticket from the summer.

Scholz did not provide any further information on the content.

Most recently there had been a dispute about the financing of the ticket, which was already planned in principle, by the federal and state governments.

Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil (SPD) said: "Today we are so far that we can say: The financial foundations for this have been laid." The expectation is now that the relevant laws can be put on track quickly.

In addition, according to Scholz, the federal and state governments agreed on the final details of a hardship fund for companies in the economic crisis.

It is "a good sign that this can start now," said Scholz.

It should be ensured that the prices for gas, district heating and electricity could fall.
