Good evening,


ok, ok,

we promise to “enjoy life to the fullest” just this once.

A well-worn phrase, of course, but it just fits so well: The introduction of the 9-euro ticket had the expected consequences, the local trains were packed at Pentecost.

A poor fellow who thought he could fit his bike in a regional express as well as himself.

Such

ticket holders then had to wait for the next train

.

But most travelers will have had their fun - if the state is going to smack taxpayers' hard-earned money on the head, why shouldn't you be there?

Continuation next weekend, and then a so-called long weekend follows with Corpus Christi on Thursday and bridge day on Friday.

Oh, pure happiness for bargain hunters and those who want to become one at the ticket machine.

Manfred Koehler

Head of department of the Rhein-Main editorial team of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

  • Follow I follow

Pure happiness

is the right keyword, because not only the trains are full, but also the tills.

In any case, it is the cash register of the Frankfurt treasurer Bastian Bergerhoff (Die Grünen), the companies continue to diligently pay trade taxes and thus ensure that things run smoothly in Frankfurt.

2.15

billion euros in revenue

from this levy is expected for 2022, compared to 2.1 billion euros in 2021.

On the Pentecost weekend, it was not only full on

the trains, but also everywhere where celebrations were held again, the need to catch up seems great.

Colleague Daniel Meuren watched the

Wäldchestag in Frankfurt

and Katharina Thümler was at the

World Club Dome opposite in the Waldstadion

;

those who liked it a little more contemplative listened to the

Great Town Bell

in Frankfurt, just like Karen Allihn.

You don't have to go away to experience something.

Although: You can only live life to the fullest on the train ... oh, we didn't want to write that again!

And in addition

, at the Burgfestspiele in Bad Vilbel, "Murder on the Orient Express" can be seen as an action-packed crime

comedy +++

many universities in the region work together with China, which raises all sorts of questions

+++

the French group Sanofi wants 135 million euros in its location invest in Frankfurt-Höchst.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler
