And for all residents along the bridge - whether shaded or not - there is the "bridge card": Each member of the household receives a bridge card for 10 years with an equivalent value of up to 10,000 euros per person during that time
Module 4: the bridge card
Numerous offers can be used on the Frankfurt Bridges, which are usually paid for with the bridge card:
-To use the bridge traffic service, you pay 20 euros per month, or 240 euros per year.
-The rotating deposit credit that one needs for the reusable packaging amounts to a starting credit of around 100 euros - which one always has free every year when packaging is lost.
-The infinity pool and the inclusivity pool cost 5 euros to enter, which adds up to 120 euros a year if both are used monthly.
-The hobby pop-ups take expense contributions of 5 euros for courses and events, as do the music pavilions. If one visits both monthly, this also results in 120 euros per year. Other admissions to concerts, cinema, operas, events amount to another 100 euros per year.
A person with bridge card "for free" saves over 550 euros per year (or more with more intensive use of the offers, whereby there is a limit per person, so that e.g. not all hobby pop-ups are permanently booked out by bridge residents). Over 10 years, the compensation bridge card saves at least 5,000 euros per year, and up to 10,000 euros p.a. if the offers are used more intensively.
Since the free bridge card is valid for all household members who are registered in a dwelling along the bridge at the time construction begins, a family of four can save up to 40,000 euros in 10 years if the bridge offers are fully utilized. By issuing the bridge card to all residents along the bridges, the bridge company will lose about 100 million euros in revenue over 10 years, or 10 million euros in revenue per year. However, this is in line with the basic idea of the Frankfurt Bridges, namely that the bridges should be perceived as an extraordinary enrichment for all their residents in particular and not as a nuisance.
