The Berlin government has confirmed the reinstatement of the €29 monthly BVG ticket, set to commence on July 1, 2023. This popular ticket, which was a successor to a previously existing one, will be a subscription-based service, requiring a minimum commitment of 12 months.

The BVG (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe), the organization that manages the public transport system in Berlin, has announced that the ticket will be available for advance sales starting on April 23. Advanced sales will allow passengers to secure their ticket for the upcoming summer season.

The €29 ticket allows travel in Berlin's A and B zones, providing a cost-effective option for commuters and tourists alike. However, it's worth noting that an extension ticket will be required to travel in the C zone, which includes Berlin's main airport, BER. The details regarding the extension ticket for the C zone were not specified in the announcement.

It's possible to swap over to the €29 ticket from the €49 Deutschlandticket or another kind of pass on April 23. Unfortunately, the ticket will not be available as a company ticket. Moreover, no discounts on the €29 ticket will be available for pensioners or students.

The return of the ticket is confirmed by the Berlin Senate, but it's important to note that the reinstatement is not specified as a permanent change. Passengers can cancel their ticket on a monthly basis, with the ticket automatically renewing each month unless cancelled. The ticket will also be non-transferable.

The details of the Berlin government member who confirmed the reinstatement of the €29 monthly BVG ticket on April 17, 2023, were not explicitly named in the provided search results.

In summary, the €29 ticket is a convenient and cost-effective option for those looking to travel within Berlin's A and B zones during the summer season. Advanced sales for the ticket will start on April 23, and it's important to note that an extension ticket will be required for travel in the C zone. Passengers should keep in mind that the reinstatement of the ticket is not a permanent change and that the ticket is non-transferable.
