Easier Cross-Border Train Travel? Deutsche Bahn Says It’s Coming

Germany's Deutsche Bahn announced it will offer integrated international train tickets starting this autumn in Europe.
This development follows the European Commission's push to simplify cross-border travel and adopt a unified booking system.
By the end of 2026, Deutsche Bahn plans to sell tickets from all major neighboring railways via its website and app.
DB reported a 22 percent increase in cross-border ticket sales in 2024 compared to pre-Covid 2019, marking its best year yet.
This advance could improve travel by reducing multiple bookings and pricing issues, though some challenges remain for full EU rail integration.
