Advantages of traveling with the DB

  • Traveling with the DB has many advantages. The trips can always be planned absolutely and you don't have to rely on anyone else. You can conveniently buy your ticket online or at the machine. You have the choice between tariffs with a fixed train connection or flexible train selection.
  • If you take the DB more often and travel short distances, the Bahncard 50 is worthwhile for you. This saves you fifty percent of the fare on every journey. The Bahncard 25 is worthwhile for longer journeys, as this card gives you a 25 percent discount on the normal fare and on savings offers.
  • Normally, the DB trains are relatively punctual, so that you can travel comfortably and also relax during the time. In some cases, however, the rail network is unfavorably developed, so that you lose a lot of time unnecessarily and need longer by changing than with the automobile.

This is how the ride-sharing option pays off

  • If you plan your journeys longer in advance, you can look for a ride online or offer one yourself. All you have to do is enter the location to which you would like to travel and you will immediately see all suitable offers with the price. You can then talk to the driver over the phone and find out more.
  • If your desired trip is not listed, you can enter it and enter a price for the passengers. So you can drive the route with company and save money that you can invest in gasoline.
