I maintain my car for for < 1000€ a year.

Given, I have a "car dude" that repairs and sells me used cars in good condition (I don't drive much at all), but even if you would spend a bit more, it isn't as competitive as it needs to be.

But other than that, cars are almost essential today. Have family you need to take care of? Good luck doing that with public transport. Doable perhaps if you quit your job...



> I don't drive much at all

Then why are you comparing your €1000 expense to this €4000 ticket? This ticket is for people who travel multiple times a week by train.

There are still normal tickets available in Germany, you don't have to pay 4000 a year for the privilege of taking a train once in a while.

Even city tickets are for people who travel every day.
