The claim

Photos of alleged posters from the Ministry of Transport advertising a zero-euro ticket are spreading on Facebook and other social networks. These say that the 0 euro ticket is coming, permanently and from now on.

Our conclusion

These advertising posters are fakes. These come from activists from the “Zero Forever” campaign. The Ministry of Transport is not promoting a zero-euro ticket. The alleged free ticket that is offered for download is also not valid.

A fake campaign is currently causing unrest on social media. “ The 0 euro ticket is coming! Permanently. From now on. The advertising posters mentioned are not only shared on the Internet, but were also discovered in Erlangen, among other places.
