Berlin and Brandenburg slash public transport costs for trainees this summer
Trainees in Berlin and Brandenburg will soon get cheaper public transport. A discounted Deutschlandticket, priced at €37.80 per month, becomes available to them this summer. The move follows an agreement between the two neighbouring states to extend the offer to young people in training programmes.
Berlin will launch the scheme first, with eligible trainees able to buy the ticket from June 1. Brandenburg's participants will follow a month later, starting on July 1, 2026. The pass grants unlimited travel on local buses, trams, and trains across Germany.
The offer extends beyond standard trainees. In Berlin, it also covers those in voluntary service roles and trainee civil servants. Berlin's Transport Senator Ute Bonde (CDU) praised the decision and acknowledged Brandenburg's collaboration in making it happen. The discounted ticket builds on the existing Deutschlandticket, which has been available nationwide since January 2026. The regular version costs €63 per month and is sold by all transport providers in Germany's 16 federal states.
The new €37.80 pass will cut travel costs for thousands of trainees in the region. It ensures affordable access to public transport for young professionals during their training. The initiative reflects ongoing efforts to make mobility more accessible across Germany.
