The Deutschland-Ticket Explained

The Deutschland-Ticket (D-Ticket) is a monthly subscription that gives you unlimited access to all local and regional public transport across Germany — see the current price and its recent history below, the headline figure changed for 2026.

The current price, and how fast it’s risen

€63/month as of January 2026 — up from €58 in 2025 and €49at the ticket’s 2023 launch. This page previously stated €58/month with no date attached. Germany’s state transport ministers agreed on 18 September 2025 to raise the price effective 1 January 2026 — the federal and state governments couldn’t agree on who covers the transport operators’ shortfall, so the difference landed on riders again. From 2027, ministers plan to move to an index tied to transport-industry wages and energy costs instead of another one-off negotiated jump.
