DB has seen a significant passenger increase in the first month of the 9-Euro Ticket. On average, DB Regio's local trains were 10 to 15 per cent busier in June than before the Corona pandemic began. Demand varies for regional services depending on the region, day of the week and time of day.
In the first two weeks of the 9-Euro-Ticket, DB Regio transported more than one million cyclists with their bicycles. However, especially on connections in popular tourist regions and on holiday weekends, not all passengers were always able to travel with their bicycles. For day trips, DB recommends using alternatives such as Call-a-bike or other bike rental services and not taking a bike on the train, especially on weekends.
