For the next three months, Germans will be able to travel the country for just €9 (£7.50; $9.50) a month in a drive to tackle the soaring cost of living.
All local and regional transport on trains, buses and metro is included in the government's initiative, although inter-city trains are not.
The cheap tickets are also aimed at getting people to leave their cars.
However, fuel tax has also been reduced by around 30 cents a litre for petrol, bringing prices down below €2.
The tax has been brought down to the EU minimum, again for the next three months, so diesel prices are also being cut by around 14 cents a litre.
Several other measures are being taken to alleviate the rising cost of living:
- Those in work will receive a one-off €300-rebate for energy costs in the autumn
- There will be a €100-child benefit bonus per child in July
- People on other welfare benefits will also receive €100.
