Chip card:

The chip card must be canceled by the 10th of the month to the end of the respective calendar month. The cancellation can be made online, by email (abo@padersprinter.de), by post (PaderSprinter GmbH, Barkhauser Str. 6, 33106 Paderborn) or in person at the customer center.

Why is my existing subscription not displayed in the ticket shop customer account?

Your existing subscription is not linked to the ticket shop and therefore cannot be accessed there.

If you would like to continue using your current subscription and not switch to the Deutschlandticket, you do not have to do anything else. Your existing subscription will simply continue and the corresponding monthly amount will be debited from your account as usual. There is also no price adjustment to €49.00 per month.

Will people and bicycles be taken along?

The Deutschlandticket does not allow people to be taken along. Children under the age of 7 who are not yet going to school travel free on the buses and trains in NRW when accompanied by a person with a valid ticket. The number of children traveling with you is not limited. People over the age of 6 who go to school need their own (Germany) ticket.

Taking bicycles with you is also not included in the Deutschlandticket. An additional bicycle ticket is required for this.

If you have agreed on take-along regulations in your existing subscription, these cannot be transferred when switching to the Deutschlandticket.

What applies to taking dogs with you?

According to the conditions of carriage, dogs can be taken along in NRW free of charge. The Conditions of Carriage will continue to apply. For journeys beyond NRW, however, the respective regulations of the transport associations apply.

Is the Deutschlandticket transferrable?

No, the Deutschlandticket is not transferable. The ticket can only be used by one specific person. A transfer to other people is therefore not possible

Will children have their own ticket?

No, there is no discount or a separate Germany ticket for children. Children under the age of 7 who are not yet going to school generally travel free on buses and trains in NRW when accompanied by a person with a valid ticket. The number of children traveling with you is not limited. People over the age of 6 who go to school, on the other hand, need their own (Germany) ticket.

What effects does the ticket have on the other fare offers?

Our entire range of tickets will remain the same until further notice. The subscription offers are also still available, as the subscriptions offer additional benefits such as transferability or portability. The electronic tariff “eezy Westfalen” will remain in place even after the introduction of the Deutschlandticket, because “eezy Westfalen” is primarily aimed at passengers who occasionally use the bus and train.

Can I take out the Deutschlandticket in a month that has already started?

Online ticket:

The Deutschlandticket can be ordered online at any time. There is no processing time and the ticket is available immediately. Please note that the ticket then also costs €49.00 and is calculated in full for the month. It runs until the end of the month that has already started and is automatically extended until it is cancelled.

Chip card:

The chip card is only valid on the 1st of a month and can therefore not be taken out for a month that has already started. The order must be in by the 15th of the previous month.
