German CDU local idea: turn the transit pass into a welfare benefit-in-kind

A CDU local politician floated giving Bürgergeld recipients the Deutschlandticket transit pass as an in-kind benefit, with a corresponding cut to the cash element, alongside a wider CDU push on municipal finance including shared council back-office services.

A small, concrete cash-vs-in-kind welfare-design idea with transport-access and work-incentive dimensions, plus a shared-services point relevant to UK council efficiency debates.
