As part of this transport association, the Verbundtarif Mittelthüringen (short for VMT or Voll-Mobil-Ticket) was introduced, which applies to trains and trams as well as various bus routes in the independent cities of Erfurt, Weimar, Jena and Gera and in the district of Weimarer Land with the city of Apolda.
With the ticket, trains of DB Regio, Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland, Süd-Thüringen-Bahn and Erfurter Bahn, the regional public transport in the cities as well as the intercity bus services of the municipal and private transport companies in the network area can be used.
Since the introduction of the integrated tariff, this customer group has been confronted with sometimes drastic price increases without making use of a corresponding service.
The criticism is supported by the Pro Bahn passenger association and is now also being expressed in initiatives by local transport users.
The BahnCard 100 is recognised as an annual ticket on trains and in city traffic in Erfurt, Weimar, Jena and Gera.
