Changes in the 2026/27 annual timetable

• Saver fares are still available from 6.99 euros.
• Flexible fare for long-distance travel remain unchanged.
• Prices for BahnCard 25 and 50 also remain unchanged.

• From 26 October: The DB Family Ticket (only in german) is back and will remain permanently available. 
• With the DB Family Ticket, up to five people can travel for EUR 99.99 on DB long-distance trains throughout Germany and back – seat reservation included. 
• At least one child must be travelling. A maximum of two travellers may be 15 years of age or older. 
• You can book the ticket from 26 October 2026 for journeys starting 1 November.

• The offers for commuters will become cheaper and clearer. 
• The prices of monthly tickets and schoolchild's monthly season tickets will be reduced by 25 percent.
•  The previous subscription tickets will no longer be offered. Instead, in future you will be able to buy your monthly ticket flexibly and according to your needs. Weekly tickets, schoolchild's monthly season tickets, schoolchild's weekly season tickets and multi-journey tickets will also continue to be available.
• With these adjustments, you will benefit from the favourable price even without a subscription – nobody will pay more. You can also decide flexibly which commuter offer suits you at what time: for example, there will no longer be any costs during your holiday for an unused monthly ticket. If there is only a short period between the end of a monthly ticket and the start of your holiday, you can bridge this more cheaply with a weekly ticket or a multi-journey ticket.

  - Up to 30 days before the journey, you can book with a deposit of EUR 6 per person and direction of travel.
