The Greens are launching a petition to maintain the climate ticket in its full extent.
This is a response to speculations that the annual pass for Austria's public transport could either be completely abolished or scaled back. This would mean that the blue-black government is threatening to simply turn off affordable, convenient and environmentally friendly mobility for 300,000 people across Austria and for another 1.3 million people with regional climate tickets.
"We must not allow this important measure to be simply taken away from people", writes Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) in a press release. Green Federal Spokesperson Werner Kogler calls such considerations "ecologically, economically and socially stupid".
