Sorry if I sound dumb but as the title says, is this bus included in the Deutschland semester ticket? All the buses marked in purple “BUS”, I mean.

  1. Any public transport in Germany, aside from high speed and intercity trains are included in the Deutschland ticket

  2. Yes, Buses are included. If you are unsure, use the planning option on the deutsche Bahn website with Deutschlandticket options.

  3. If it is Deutschlandticket then all buses are always included unless the stop is across international borders. Your semester ticket might not be a Deutschlandticket but rather a regional ticket for a specific city. Check carefully

  4. Rule of thumb is usually every regional or city bus is included in the Deutschlandticket. Regional Buses are often provided by subdivisions of the DB (for example Regio Bus Baden Württemberg) and city buses are often provided by the city’s infrastructure company or tram operators (Stadtwerke Heilbronn (Heilbronn), BVG (Berlin), rnv (Heidelberg), etc.). Long distance Buses like Eurolines or Flixbus aren’t included in the Deutschlandticket.

  5. ALL buses in Germany are included, except long-distance ones (like Flixbus) and some airport and theme park shuttles

  6. As far as I know Deutschlandticket is basically everything apart from IC/ICE. You can even make long trips with it just have to take RB all the time. Would be uncertain about RE. But that’s all train. Anything metro/bus/street-train thingy should be included, unless specifically run by another company, which I think is also quite uncommon in Germany.
