In principle, passenger rights also apply to rail services operated by the rail associations (e.g. S-Bahn, RE or RB). There is no entitlement to compensation for delays caused by underground trains, trams, buses or taxis.

The associations are also free to make further arrangements.

The responsibility for handling passenger rights is regulated individually by each transport association. Holders of tickets from a transport association should enquire with the respective association about the passenger rights regulations that apply there.
