Germany’s 49-euro ticket resulted in significant modal shift from road to rail
MCC analysis for the Ariadne energy transition project shows 30 percent more rail journeys. The announced increase in price to 58 euros per month undoes half of this.
Meanwhile in North America, Canada's VIA is operating on a shoestring and being further threatened ... and in the last 50 years the US has pulled up most of the rails that were installed in the previous century. We're stuck with airplanes, hybrid metro-transit, and what's left of Greyhound. But, hey, we've got a world to police!

Meanwhile in Germany the 49€ ticket is on the verge of dying and will be soon the 58€ ticket - all while the railroads are practically falling apart and the FDP, who is in charge of the transportation ministry, wants to feed 100 million to save an air taxi startup. lol
Maybe be a bit careful with what kind of "success" story you want to flaunt around.
This article just reminded me to cancel my DB ticket, so they didn't get everything wrong I guess
I couldn't even afford it, not even the so called "social ticket" for 39€ (Preisstufe A). lol
