What is not included in 9 euro ticket?

The 9-euro ticket was not valid on long-distance trains (EC, IC, high-speed ICE) or long-distance buses. Nor was it valid for first-class on regional trains (RB, RE), or for a bike or a dog on systems that normally charge for that.



As of early 2026, the original "9 Euro Ticket" is no longer available; it has been replaced by the Deutschland-Ticket (D-Ticket), which costs €63 per month. This ticket provides unlimited travel on all local and regional public transport across Germany, but it specifically excludes long-distance transport. You cannot use the D-Ticket on high-speed ICE (InterCity Express), IC (InterCity), or EC (EuroCity) trains operated by Deutsche Bahn, nor can you use it on private long-distance carriers like FlixTrain. Additionally, the ticket is personal and non-transferable, and it does not include the right to take a bicycle or a dog for free (unless local regional transport rules specify otherwise). For 2026 travelers, the "pro-tip" is that if you accidentally board an ICE train with only a Deutschland-Ticket, you will be considered a passenger without a valid ticket and may face a fine of at least €60 plus the cost of a full-fare ticket.
