Deutsche Bahn has announced it will end discounted family seat reservations starting June 15th, resulting in higher costs for families traveling by train. Previously, families of up to five could reserve seats in second class for €10.40, but the new pricing will require them to pay €22 for a family of four, more than double the previous cost. The change has drawn criticism from across the political spectrum and environmental groups, who argue it may drive families to use cars, undermining rail travel's sustainability. Despite the backlash, DB cites financial necessity following a €1.8 billion loss last year as the reason for the decision, which will not be reversed despite public outcry.
From June 15th, families in Germany will no longer enjoy discounted seat reservations on Deutsche Bahn, leading to considerably higher travel costs for families.
DB has decided against reversing their changes to family seat reservations, despite public criticism, prioritizing financial sustainability over customer convenience.
