What are the immediate effects of Frankfurt's car trade-in program for public transit usage and environmental impact, based on initial data?

In Frankfurt, Germany, 340 people traded in their combustion engine cars for a year-long public transportation pass between July 2023 and January 2024. This initiative, part of a larger plan for climate-friendly transport, offered a €500,000 budget. One participant, Julia Koenen, reports satisfaction with her car-free life, using carsharing when needed.
