Buy the 49-euro-ticket outside of Germany

  • 2 options for buying the Deutschlandticket from outside of Germany:
    1. Try the DB Navigator app, the official app from Deutsche Bahn. This is where I have mine, but I think it doesn't sell it outside of Germany (please correct me if I'm wrong!) I think you need a German IBAN.
    2. What I've definitely seen people outside of Germany do, is use the FahrPlaner app from the Bremen public transport authority. That also has an English language setting and definitely takes foreign credit cards, according to reports I've seen from places e.g. the Seat61 page about the Deutschlandticket.
    Also remember to cancel it if you're leaving the country, as it's a subscription (but monthly-cancellable)!

      Tourists spend alot, so they'll infuse local economies (especially the less abled small municipalities) with cash flow because they could go to the smaller cities thanks to cheaper prices therefore germany needing less taxpayer subsidies for the countryside and more equality in germany.

    Good to mention that if you want to only use it for one month, you have to cancel the subscription before the 15th or else it rolls over to the next.
    So if you visit for 2 weeks and those happen to be the last 2 weeks of that month you always have to pay for 2 months of subscription.
    You can still easily get value out of it, but for 98€ you may want to double check if it's actually worth it for you.

      Because it is funded by tax money and mainly aimed at helping low income households to stay mobile, since it's getting more and more expensive to own a car. It also helps with getting real data on how many people are actually using it without having to guesstimate the amount of tourists which makes it politically easier to justify infrastructure spending on local railways, which has been lacking for decades.
