Monthly and annual passes are seeing bigger jumps. The standard monthly pass will now cost €59.90, while the annual subscription rises to €48.20 per month. The *SchülerTicket Hessen* and *SeniorenTicket Hessen* will follow the same trend. The *Deutschland-Ticket* will vary in price, ranging between €29.00 and €63.00 depending on available discounts. Meanwhile, RMV has discontinued the 9 a.m. monthly pass, 9 a.m. annual pass, and 65+ monthly pass, citing declining usage.
