Deutsche Bahn weakens: secure cheap tickets for Christmas!

Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Flixtrain are comparatively poor in the Europe -wide evaluation of the rail services. According to a survey of Transport & Environment (T&E), the DB is 16th under 27 European railway companies, while Flixtrain only lands in 20th place. Especially in the areas of punctuality and reliability, the two providers lowly cut off, so T&E. Alexander Kaas Elias, a spokesman for the traffic club Germany (VCD), emphasizes that both DB and Flixtrain need improvements in service and quality to remain competitive, since the ticket prices are heavily weighted and a better offer for travelers is required, such as the Shz reported.

The DB offers up to 20 euros for long -distance routes, but many passengers have to prepare for full trains, especially on Friday before Christmas. The wave of arrival begins on December 19 and runs until Christmas Eve, followed by a high travel volume at the turn of the year.

Early bookers who take care of their ticket in good time can benefit from low prices, which is also highlighted by the Mopo
