Can I bring other people, children, dogs, or bicycles?
The Deutschlandticket is a personal ticket that is only valid for you. Free transport of other people, dogs, or bicycles is generally not included.
Here are the detailed rules:
- Other people: No. The ticket is only valid for the person it is issued to. Companions need their own ticket.
- Children: Yes, children under 6 years old travel free of charge and do not need their own ticket. Children aged 6 and over need their own valid ticket.
- Dogs & bicycles: This is not included in the Deutschlandticket. The rules vary widely across Germany and depend on the respective transport association. In many regions, you need to purchase an additional ticket (e.g. a bicycle ticket or a ticket for your dog).
Our tip: Always check the specific rules for dogs and bicycles with the transport operator you are traveling with before your journey.
