Deutsche Bahn: Drei Tage Büropflicht: Bahn-Beschäftigte gehen ihren Vorstand im Intranet an
Bahn-Chefin Palla will Präsenz der Mitarbeiter erzwingen, der Konzern aber Büroflächen abbauen. Die Belegschaft sieht darin mehr als nur einen Widerspruch – und zeigt sich teils aufgebracht.
Deutsche Bahn has announced that its 99-euro family ticket, initially planned as a summer-only offer, will be available permanently. The ticket allows groups of up to five people to book return long-distance train tickets for a total price of 99.99 euros, including seat reservations. Deutsche Bahn CEO Evelyn Palla, appointed in October, extended the offer after seeing a surge in usage over the summer.
Passenger numbers increased by 100,000 more families compared to the previous year, according to Palla. The family ticket will be available for booking from October 26 and can be used for journeys on or after November 1. There are no restrictions on the number of family tickets Deutsche Bahn can sell, but they may sell out quickly on popular routes.
To qualify for the Familienticket, at least one group member must be under 14 and one must be 15 or older, but they do not need to be related. The ticket can be purchased for a return journey at 99.99 euros, or a one-way ticket for 59.99 euros, provided a child is traveling. While the ticket includes seat reservations, it does not guarantee that group members will be seated together if there are no neighboring seats available.
Booking a family ticket may not always be the cheapest option for groups of adults and children, especially on shorter or less expensive journeys.
