"Germany’s affordable public transit offer has successfully nudged some
consumers to ditch their cars for trains.

After the so-called Deutschland-Ticket for unlimited travel started in May, the
number of train trips of more than 30 kilometers (19 miles) increased by 27.5%
in June to more than 123,000 on mornings during the work week, compared with
less than 97,000 in April, according to data from mobile telecommunications
provider O2 Telefonica. The figures were earlier reported by news agency
DPA."
