Travelling in Germany just got cheaper. The Deutschlandticket is sold as a monthly subscription at a cost of 49 euros per month. The ticket is valid for a calendar month, and is automatically renewed, with payment taken by direct debit from the user’s bank account or by credit card. The subscription can be cancelled by the 10th day of each month. Users wishing to purchase a new subscription for the current month on the 11th day of the month or later must pay for at least the current and the following calendar month.

The Deutschlandticket is sold by participating local transit authorities. It is issued as a digital ticket via mobile apps offered by local transit authorities. It can also be issued on a chip smartcard using the “eTicket Deutschland” standard. Employers can subsidize the ticket for their employees, and university students can upgrade their “Semesterticket” to a Deutschlandticket.

The BahnCard 100, a rail card offered by Deutsche Bahn allowing unlimited travel on its trains, includes a Deutschlandticket at no additional charge.
