The nine-euro ticket has also significantly eased the traffic situation in major German cities in the second month. An analysis by the traffic data specialist Tomtom shows a significant reduction in the level of traffic jams.
Because of the nine-euro ticket, many people apparently left their cars in July in favor of the train. An analysis by the traffic data specialist Tomtom shows, as in June, a significant drop in the level of traffic jams in major German cities, as the editorial network Germany (RND) reported on Friday. In many places, the effect was somewhat weaker than in the previous month.
In twelve of the 14 cities surveyed, commuters by car lost less time in traffic than in May. This was most evident in Stuttgart and Wiesbaden. Only in Bremen and Karlsruhe did the congestion level increase slightly.
Nine-euro ticket: Fewer traffic jams as early as June
In June, the Tomtom experts examined the traffic level in 26 cities and came to similar conclusions. In July, for reasons of statistical comparability, they were limited to cities in which a complete working week could still be compared with the previous months.
“If you compare the loss times for June and July, only two cities show an improvement in traffic flow from June to July,” said Ralf-Peter Schäfer from Tomtom to RND. “For five cities, the Tomtom data shows no change. In seven cities, Tomtom has registered a slight increase in lost time – but without reaching the level of May.”
