Does Deutschland-Ticket include trams?

The ticket is valid on all local and regional buses, trams, metros, S-Bahn trains, and local and regional trains (RB/RE) across the whole of Germany, except on some RE trains operated by DB Fernverkehr.



Yes, the Deutschland-Ticket (often called the €49 ticket, though the price increased to €63 in January 2026) includes unlimited travel on all trams across Germany. The ticket is designed as a universal pass for all local and regional public transport (ÖPNV). This means you can use it on city buses, trams, U-Bahn (subway), S-Bahn, and regional trains (RB and RE). However, it is not valid on long-distance high-speed trains like the ICE, IC, or EC, nor on private long-distance buses like FlixBus. The ticket is a digital-only monthly subscription that can be canceled at any time. Because it is valid nationwide, a Deutschland-Ticket purchased in Berlin can be used for the tram system in Munich, Cologne, or any other German city, making it a "game-changer" for commuters and tourists alike who want to navigate urban areas without buying separate local fares.
