Every provider in Germany charges a uniform €63 for the Deutschlandticket in 2025. The pass itself is identical: full access to local transport nationwide. What's not identical is what else each provider gives you. Here are the top three options and what sets them apart.
- Deutsche Bahn: A reliable baseline option. Good for anyone already using the DB Navigator app. No additional features like pausing or mobility benefits.
- Local transport associations: Comparable to Deutsche Bahn in terms of features — often with limited digital capabilities, but chip card availability in some regions.
- TicketPlus+: Fully digital, flexibly pausable, integrates with Apple/Google Wallet, and comes with monthly extras including carvoucher and free minutes for scooters and e-bikes.
