The railway transports around 100,000 dogs per year. Previously, tickets for the four-legged friends could not be bought as online tickets – this is now changing.
Deutsche Bahn customers can now buy tickets for dogs online, not just on paper. A spokesman for the German Press Agency confirmed a corresponding report by “Bild am Sonntag”.
ICE tickets for larger dogs that do not fit in a transport box could already be booked online, but they were only made available a few days later by post on paper, plus postage costs. There have also been tickets for dogs in the DB travel centers or at machines.
Small dogs in boxes continue to travel free of charge, according to Bahn information, for larger dogs half the fare of a normal ticket is due.
The new online tickets are only available in the new “Next DB Navigator” train app or on next.bahn.de, not in the old “DB Navigator” app and not on bahn.de either, the spokesman said . The train transports around 100,000 dogs per year.
