What applies outside of the transport associations?
On local trains outside the transport associations, the nationwide 'Deutschlandtarif' applies, even if the lines are operated by other companies, such as Abellio or Erfurter Bahn. There are no price differences between S-Bahn, regional trains or regional express trains. Long-distance trains, such as ICE and IC, are subject to Deutsche Bahn's long-distance fares. You can obtain information on prices on the INSA timetable information service, the Deutsche Bahn timetable information service and wherever tickets are sold.
Information on the 'Deutschlandtarif' is available at www.deutschlandtarifverbund.de.
Special fares apply on tourist lines such as the Dessau-Wörlitzer Eisenbahn, the Harzer Schmalspurbahnen, the Rübelandbahn and the Wipperliese.
On buses outside the transport associations, the tariff of the respective transport company applies.
Additional benefits are available on all state bus lines marked with <O> Mein Takt:
- Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony and Thuringia tickets and the Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket as well as the BahnCard 100 are valid.
- BahnCard holders receive discounted tickets.
