“It is now important for us to get everyone around the table and discuss specific steps,” said the SPD politician on Tuesday after a Senate session. “It is clear that if we want to create a connecting ticket from October 1st to December in Berlin, we have to act very quickly.”
Therefore, a video switching conference with all those involved is already planned for this Thursday, including representatives of Brandenburg, the BVG, the S-Bahn and the Verkehrsverbund Berlin-Brandenburg (VBB). There it should be about the “sphere of action” of the temporary ticket financed from state funds, but also about the price.
