Heading Towards Achievement and Victory - "Nrw's 'eezy' is on course for success"
Hey there! Want to know about the digital fare system revolutionizing occasional public transport users in North Rhine-Westphalia? Let's dive in!
The popular digital fare system "eezy.nrw" has smashed the 10 million trips milestone, just 3.5 years after its launch. This groundbreaking service is on a roll, with demand soaring according to the North Rhine-Westphalia Transport Ministry.
In April alone, an impressive 602,000 trips were recorded across the state via the app – that's nearly double the number from the previous year. Compared to the previous month, there was a whopping 13.6% increase in user trips.
"eezy.nrw" offers a fuss-free experience: "No waiting at the machine, no queue, no tariff jungle, just check in via the app and go!" the ministry highlighted. Fares are based on straightforward distance calculations, with a monthly cap set at 58 euros – the same price as the Germany ticket.
A Proud Offspring of the Germany Ticket
What's unique about this type of fare for a large area is that it's one-of-a-kind across the nation. The ministry revealed that it was developed collaboratively with transport associations and fare communities, with financial backing from the Transport Ministry to encourage more people to switch to bus and train travel.
"Besides the Germany ticket, 'eezy.nrw' is the second ticket revolution," asserted NRW Transport Minister Oliver Krischer (Greens). The fares are computed via the respective app used, applying a base fare of between 1.49 and 1.84 euros, along with a fee of 23 to 29 cents per kilometer for the distance traveled per trip. Once you reach a total of 58 euros, further trips within NRW in the same calendar month are completely free.
