One ticket. About sixty dollars a month. The entire country.

Germany's Deutschlandticket works on every city bus, every tram, every subway, and every regional train — from the North Sea coast to the Bavarian Alps. Buy it in Hamburg, use it in Munich. No zones to decode. No transfers to buy. No app roulette at a strange station.

Millions of Germans now own one. Some use it to commute. Some use it to spend a Saturday riding a slow train through vineyards, just because it costs nothing extra.

It is not perfect — the trains still run late, and Germans will happily tell you about it. But for the price of a couple of tanks of gas, a whole country opens up.

What would sixty dollars get you where you live?
