    I moved to Germany right when the D-ticket went into effect. I can’t imagine a more complicated solution that also costs more money. I commute to work a city over, I travel to small towns all the time to visit and explore.

    I want to stay in Germany long term, and I hope the country continues to value public transit. Cars are a plague. I’m not thoroughly versed in the German train history but public transit should be free for everyone, a public utility, and paid for via taxes.

    Our list of priorities should be public transit, ecological and healthy personal options like bikes, and then electric cars. Removing the D-ticket would be a step backwards.
