The Berlin subscription for 29 € from July 2024
Discontinuation of the Berlin subscription
The Berlin subscription will be discontinued as a fare product and removed from the VBB fare because it will no longer be financed by the state of Berlin.
We offer you the option of switching your subscription to the Deutschlandticket. You don't have to do anything, we'll take care of it. Unlike your previous Berlin subscription, the Deutschlandticket is valid throughout Germany and can be cancelled at any time on a monthly basis.

Berlin subscription FAQ
Why is the Berlin subscription being discontinued?
The state of Berlin has decided to make savings for the 2025 budget. This also affects the funds for the Berlin subscription. Therefore, the fare offer must now be discontinued; it will no longer be sold from December 11, 2024.
What happens now with the existing Berlin subscription contracts?
Changeover to the Deutschlandticket:
Customers who currently have a Berlin subscription can continue to use public transport in Berlin until the end of their minimum contract term. They will receive a change offer from the transport company in the next few weeks and then a Deutschlandticket, which will be valid from 1 March 2025. Once the ticket has been sent to you, you will also be able to use local public transport services in other federal states.
The difference between the price of the Berlin subscription (€29 per month) and the Deutschlandticket (currently €58 per month) will be credited to customers each month by the state of Berlin via the transport companies until the end of their minimum contract period.
I do not agree with the changeover to the Deutschlandticket. What do I do now?
If customers do not agree to the switch to the Deutschlandticket and credit, they can agree to the termination of their subsription instead. This declaration must be received by BVG by 15 January 2025 at the latest. The following form can be used for quick and easy termination.
What do Berlin subscription customers have to do now?
If customers agree to the change, nothing further needs to be done. Once they receive their new ticket, they can even use local transport throughout Germany.
If customers wish to cancel their travelcard altogether instead, they can agree to the termination of their travelcard. The contract will then be discontinued without replacement, the original commitment to the minimum contract term of 12 months will no longer apply and no further costs will be incurred.
What are the differences between Deutschlandticket and Berlin subscription?
The Berlin subscription is valid for at least 12 months and is only valid in the Berlin AB area.
The Deutschlandticket, on the other hand, is valid throughout Germany and can be canceled monthly - even in the first year. With both tickets, you can use all public transport within Berlin and also take children under the age of 6 with you free of charge.
