Deutschlandticket
Notes on the changeover for subscribers
In most cases, the Deutschlandticket is cheaper than the existing subscription - with a larger travel area at the same time.
That's why we're making it easy for you:
- We have automatically switched your subscriptions* to the Deutschlandticket on 1 May.
- If you use your subscription as a chip card, please stick the sticker we sent you on your existing chip card. You will receive a new Deutschlandticket chip card from us in summer 2023. However, you can already use the old chip card including sticker throughout Germany.
- With the digital subscription via app, the changeover was particularly easy - you will find the new barcode in the Rheinbahn app under "My tickets".
- Whether Deutschlandticket or another Rheinbahn subscription: You can change to another subscription flexibly at any time or cancel your subscription on a monthly basis. You can therefore also switch back to your old subscription if you have missed the objection deadline for switching.
*Exceptions are subscriptions that are cheaper than the Deutschlandticket, i.e. SchokoTickets and SozialTickets. If you would like to change one of these subscriptions to the Deutschlandticket, please click the button below:
