#”Supermarket train” rolls through Hesse: Here you can find regional, ecological and fair-trade products.
###The mobile fair “supermarket train” starts at Frankfurt central station. It will make stops in various Hessian cities in the future.
Frankfurt – Fair and mobile: In Frankfurt, a train converted into a supermarket went into operation on Friday (05.11.2021). The ecological train will be at Frankfurt’s main station until Saturday (06.11.2021) and will then travel to other Hessian cities.
The Deutsche Bahn subsidiary “DB Regio”, local supplier Rewe Region Mitte and the association Fairtrade Germany announced that the “fair supermarket train” will offer regional, ecological and fair-trade products in the future. “The fair supermarket train shows how many areas of our everyday life we can make more sustainable and fairer,” said Fairtrade manager Carsten Lorenz The “supermarket train” consists of three shopping wagons and an on-board bistro.
###Frankfurt main station: Hesse’s fair “supermarket train”: no ticket needed
The train, run by Rewe trainees, will stop in Gießen, Fulda, Kassel, Darmstadt and Wiesbaden on Fridays and Saturdays from 9.00 to 19.00 over the next few weeks. No ticket is required for the purchase.

First person to board the train is a 4-foot wide 73 year old grandmother with a personal shopping trolley and a keen interest in comparing salt content between all available brands. Also, she has forgotten her glasses.
When she gets to the checkout, trailing 278 politely infuriated locals, the purse comes out. With the pennies.
Is that a picture inside the train? There are normal products, you can buy these in a random supermarket as well, I don’t understand the sense of it.
Maybe DB should instead invest into being more punctual with their trains?
