What does the Deutschlandticket cover?

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.



As of early 2026, the Deutschlandticket (D-Ticket) has increased in price to €63 per month and continues to offer unlimited travel on all local and regional public transport throughout Germany. This includes all city buses, trams, U-Bahn (subways), S-Bahn (suburban trains), and regional trains like the RB (Regionalbahn) and RE (Regional-Express). It effectively turns the entire country's local transport into a single, seamless network. However, it is a high-value "pro-tip" to remember what it does not cover: it is strictly invalid on long-distance, high-speed trains such as the ICE (InterCity Express), IC (InterCity), or EC (EuroCity). It also does not include private long-distance carriers like FlixTrain. In 2026, the ticket remains a digital-only subscription that can be cancelled by the 10th of the previous month. While it covers second-class travel nationwide, additional fees usually still apply for taking bicycles or dogs, depending on the specific rules of the regional transport authority you are currently using.
