Germany: Businesses Can Refuse Cash, Transport Rules Tightened, Parking Reminder
German businesses have been granted more freedom in choosing payment methods. A recent ruling allows them to refuse cash payments, provided they inform customers beforehand. Meanwhile, public transport rules have been reinforced: standing in the aisle leading to first class with a second class ticket is now prohibited. Additionally, car drivers are reminded that storing items on rented garage parking spots is not permitted.
In a significant change, German businesses are no longer obligated to accept cash payments. While there's no explicit law requiring them to do so, they must inform customers about their cashless-only policy before a contract is concluded. This new flexibility aims to accommodate the growing trend of digital payments.
Public transport regulations have been tightened. Passengers holding second class tickets are no longer allowed to stand in the aisle leading to first class. This move aims to ensure fair usage of space and prevent overcrowding.
Car drivers are reminded of a long-standing rule: it is not permitted to store items on rented garage parking spots. This is to maintain safety and prevent obstructions in shared parking facilities.
German businesses now have the option to refuse cash payments, provided they inform customers. Public transport passengers are reminded to adhere to ticket class rules, and car drivers are urged to keep rented garage parking spots clear of stored items.
