The consumer advice centers are also calling for a connection offer for the 9-euro tickets in nationwide local transport to relieve rising prices.
The head of the Federal Association (vzbv), Jutta Gurkmann, told the German Press Agency that an easy-to-book ticket for all buses and trains in local transport should be offered for a monthly price of 29 euros, i.e. around one euro per day.
"That would relieve everyone in the price crisis, but especially households with little money, and also give the necessary traffic turnaround more impetus."
The 9-euro tickets are valid in June, July and August and allow unlimited travel on local and regional buses and trains throughout Germany for one month - much cheaper than normal monthly tickets, which are also only valid in the network area.
Federal Minister of Transport Volker Wissing (FDP) and Bahn boss Richard Lutz want to comment on the future of rail and better organization of construction sites for fewer train delays on Wednesday.
The consumer centers are demanding that the federal government take up further development of the successful 9-euro ticket for a further relief package that is needed.
In view of the further increase in energy prices, a rethinking of the gas supply is necessary.
The coalition must link financial aid such as the heating subsidy for housing benefit recipients to the actual price development.
"It needs a dynamic model with a connection to price reality," said Gurkmann.
"If, for example, the additional costs for gas prices were to double again, the federal government would also have to raise the heating cost subsidy and other transfer payments accordingly." Many are already financially with their backs to the wall - especially people with low incomes, pensioners and increasingly even middle-income people.
In addition, the federal government must not treat companies and consumers unequally.
It cannot be the case that politicians want to incentivize companies to save energy, while private households can be prescribed lower heating temperatures.
Measures should apply equally to everyone.
"Otherwise, this will have a serious impact on the acceptance of the measures."
