We germans love to criticize even huge improvements, don‘t we? 49€ is dead cheap for that ticket.

It does feel rather surreal, indeed.

100€ just for one/two Länder would've been a huge improvement for most people I know. It can be a huge improvement but we can still demand better.

The discussion for this ticket started with 9€ so it's fair to compare the result to what they set out to achieve.

9€ would have been a revolution of public transportation. A major step to achieve the emission goals of ministry of transportation, which it utterly fails at and can't even come up with a strategy how to achieve any reductions.

49€ is nice for everyone already using public transportation on a regular basis, but will not induce a significant change in transportation method used, which is desperately needed.
