Digital data on mobility patterns in the Munich region. The introduction of the nine-euro ticket led to changes in the mobility behavior of many people in the Munich region. A study conducted at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) shows that more than 20 percent of participants had not previously used public transportation and now take buses and trains. Around one third of the participants were making greater use of public transportation than before. The study is the only research project on the nine-euro ticket to use digital data documenting actual journeys. How did the so-called nine-euro ticket affect mobility behavior in the Munich metropolitan region over the first half of the offer period? Between mid-May and mid-September 2022, around 1000 adults of all ages use a smartphone app developed for the "Mobilität.Leben" study. The app logs routes and modes of transport to provide the research team with data on exact trip distances and times, for example.
