Redistribution of Deutschlandticket revenue: An outcry from MV!
Güstrow is discussing the redistribution of Deutschlandticket revenue in order to better support local providers from October 2023.
Redistribution of Deutschlandticket revenue: An outcry from MV!
In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the focus is on income from the sale of Germany tickets. In 2022, up to 2.4 million tickets were sold there for almost 113 million euros. But not everyone benefits equally from these high numbers. According to [nordkurier.de](https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/mecklenburg-vorpommern/gewinnen-aus-deutschlandticket-sollen-neu-vertteil- Werden-3844249), CDU state parliament member Wolfgang Waldmüller fears that too little money will flow into the country, which will particularly disadvantage local providers. He demands a fair distribution of income.
In many cases, Deutsche Bahn keeps the revenue, even though only a small proportion of subscribers in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district - namely just 1,800 out of 12,000 - buy their ticket from the local transport company. District Administrator Stefan Sternberg also expresses criticism and calls for a fairer distribution of the sales proceeds. However, the state government has promised to compensate for financial losses suffered by the transport companies due to the Deutschlandticket. A revenue reallocation will be considered from October 2023, taking into account shoppers' postcodes and tourism.
Demands for fair distribution
The Conference of Transport Ministers has even called for a retroactive adjustment of the distribution for 2025. Consultations are also currently underway to find a solution that is fair to local companies. Waldmüller appeals to the state government to actively work for a fair solution that also takes the needs of the regions into account.
But it's not just the financial aspects that are important; Health is also an issue that affects many older people. Particularly relevant is the risk of acute and chronic pancreatitis, which occurs more frequently in old age. This condition is caused by changes in the pancreas and can be exacerbated by factors such as gallstones or reduced blood supply. Such health problems have been known for a long time, but their preventative treatment is often neglected.
Healthy nutrition as prevention
A healthy lifestyle can make a significant contribution to prevention. Nutrition also plays a central role. Foods like eggs that are rich in vitamins and minerals can support overall health and improve everyday performance. Eggs contain not only high-quality proteins, but also important fats that have anti-inflammatory effects and support recovery after physical exertion, as described in globo.com.
The discussion about the Deutschlandticket and the associated income shows how important it is not to lose sight of local companies and regional characteristics. At the same time, the health of the older population must not be neglected, because a balanced diet can help to better meet the challenges of old age.
