Berliners should purchase $20 monthly 'solidarity levy' tickets, regardless of whether they ever use such services, the deputy mayor said.
New stealth tax just dropped: people should be forced to purchase $16-$21 monthly “solidarity levy” ticket for public transport, regardless of whether or not they ever use such services, Berlin’s deputy mayor and transport tsar has suggested.
Bettina Jarasch, a Green party politician who also serves as the city’s deputy mayor, suggested the implementation of the measure after the apparent success of a recent summer scheme that saw Germans charged only €9 per month for public transport in order to help curb the impact of inflation during the summer months.
However, opposition parties have already been quick to react to the possibility of a forced purchase arrangement, with a spokesman for the opposition Christian Democratic Union partythat forcing people to pay for the service would only further hurt normal people who are already under pressure thanks to the cost of living crisis.
