Träwelling wiz ze Deutsche Bahn

As energy and fuel prices soared in 2022, the German government decided to introduce a public transportation pass valid across the entire country for only €9 per month during summer.

The catch: You can only use it on local and regional trains. Also, it can get extremely crowded on weekends and public holidays and the increased demand has driven the railway infrastructure to its limits.

It has been great to move around town and go to nearby cities such as Erlangen, Bamberg, and Würzburg. And since business tends to be slow in summer, meaning I usually have some time on my hands, I decided to put this pass to the test and use it for longer distance travel.
