£2 fare , Government remuneration

[TheGrandWazoo]

I meant - how much has the Deutschlandticket cost German taxpayers, vs. how much has the £2 bus fare cap cost UK taxpayers (adjusted for population size) ?

Hmmm.... according to this article, about 3bn euros https://www.navit.com/blog/deutschl...ed, the federal,and finance 1.5 billion euros.

The federal states have also agreed to work with the federal government on solutions that ensure flexible financing beyond the end of the year. Last November, Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz and the state premiers had already agreed on further steps to finance the Deutschlandticket.

As previously agreed, the federal government will also contribute half of the costs in 2024 and finance 1.5 billion euros.
