Deutsche Bahn Promotes Discounted Tickets to Regain Passenger Trust

The company introduces a million additional discounted tickets and special offers to attract young travelers and counter competition from regional and budget options.

The Deutsche Bahn is launching a March discount campaign, adding one million Sparpreis tickets for travel until December 13, 2025, with prices starting at €9.99 for short distances.
Young travelers under 27 benefit from doubled 'Super Sparpreis Young' ticket availability, with prices starting at €12.99 or €9.74 with a BahnCard.
BahnCards 25 and 50 will be offered at up to 50% discount during March, reducing costs for frequent travelers and incentivizing new customers.
The campaign aims to address declining customer satisfaction from 2024’s record delays and competition from the Deutschlandticket and budget rivals like Flixtrain.
Discounted tickets are tied to specific trains and times, with the best deals available for early bookings and less popular travel periods such as early mornings or midweek.
