Germany — Living: Transportation
The Deutschlandticket lets holders use all local and regional public transport nationwide (buses, trams, metro, S-Bahn, and regional trains) for a flat €63/month as of 2026 — it does not cover long-distance ICE/IC trains. A discounted student version, the Deutschland-Semesterticket, costs around €34.80-37.80/month and is typically bundled into the semester contribution at most German universities.
