Deutsche Bahn moves Germany. Every day.

One railway. Reliable. For everyone.

Infrastructure

We operate a 33,400 kilometre-long network with 5,400 stations, which are used by 450 railway companies and 50,000 trains every day.

Passenger transport

Every day, more than five million people travel with Deutsche Bahn - in ICE and Intercity trains, in regional express trains or in regional and suburban trains.

Logistics

DB Cargo replaces around 80,000 lorry journeys across Europe each day, offering a climate-friendly alternative.

The immediate action programmes for a better railway.

More efficient, more reliable and determined to permanently and noticeably improve quality for passengers.

The modernisation of the infrastructure takes time. We are implementing three immediate action programmes so that customers can see that things are improving at DB: for improved cleanliness and security at our stations. For greater comfort on long-distance services. For a better customer information. For these three programmes, we are investing a total of more than 140 million euros in DB in 2026 alone.  

Even cleaner trains and ever more reliable service in our dining cars make train journeys even more comfortable and attractive. 

Increased presence of security staff, additional cleaning and quick repairs at railway stations ensure that people enjoy their stay and get to their trains in comfort.  

In future, DB will provide customers with even better information before and during their journey - both on the train, at the station and in digital information channels. 
Travel information, news and entertainment

The ICE Portal opens automatically when passengers connect to Wi-Fi on board. It provides all important information about the train and route as well as extensive infotainment. In addition to train information, such as the train's expected arrival time, connecting trains, the train's GPS position and travel alternatives, the ICE Portal also offers German TV news and tips as well as products and services relating to the best travel destinations. The on-board program has different information sections and an electronic kiosk with various newspapers, audiobooks and radio dramas. It also features a rotating selection of 50 movies and TV episodes thanks to a long-term strategic partnership with maxdome, a German video-on-demand provider.
