Is Deutschland-Ticket valid for 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.



In 2026, the Deutschland-Ticket (D-Ticket) is absolutely valid for all trams across Germany. As part of a nationwide effort to simplify public transport, this subscription ticket covers the entire ÖPNV (public transport) network, which includes not just trams, but also city buses, U-Bahns (subway), S-Bahns (suburban trains), and regional trains (RB and RE). Whether you are in Berlin, Munich, or Dresden, you can hop on any tram without worrying about local fare zones. It is important to remember that while the D-Ticket is a powerhouse for local travel, it does not include high-speed long-distance services like the ICE, IC, or EC. As of early 2026, the price has seen a slight adjustment to €58 per month, but its utility for daily commuters and regional travelers remains unmatched, providing a seamless "tap-less" experience across every German municipality's tramway system.
