You don’t have to have studied them in detail, but you should have our 5 most important rules ready to avoid running into problems.

Cheat sheet: 5 important rules for the 49-euro ticket

  1. Ticket is a subscription:
    The 49-euro ticket is not a one-time purchase for a month, but a subscription. You can buy it from April 3rd. However, you only enter the start date, for example from May. If you don’t want to drive it in June, you must explicitly cancel the subscription quit, otherwise it will be automatically extended. Cancellation is always possible at the end of the month. Be sure to note the discount options.

  2. No long-distance traffic:
    The misunderstanding also existed at the beginning with the 9-euro ticket. The validity. “Germany-wide” and the name Deutschlandticket does not mean that you can use all means of transport in Germany with it. Only local and regional transport is covered. So you can use the subway in Hamburg, take the S-Bahn in Munich or the regional train to get out of Berlin. Journeys with ICE, IC or EC, i.e. long-distance transport, are not included in the 49-euro ticket if none

  3. Not for 1st class:
    The 49-euro ticket is only valid for journeys in 2nd class. So the 1st class is not covered.

  4. Be careful when taking:
    The Germany ticket is valid for one person. Exceptions are children up to 6 years of age, who do not need a ticket and travel for free. However, older children need their own 49-euro ticket or another valid ticket. Note that it is for many people

  5. Not transferable:
    The 49-euro ticket is personal, i.e. each person needs a ticket and you cannot lend your subscription to friends.
