    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. 
    Wireless internet on ICEs, on regional trains and at stations

    Free Wi-Fi has been available on ICEs since 2017. Now it's being rolled out to the Intercity fleet. Since summer 2019, DB has been making wireless internet avialable on its Intercity trains. Free Wi-Fi will be available on the entire long distance fleet by the end of 2021. DB is spending some EUR 30 million to equip around 1,000 Intercity cars with multiprovider technology, the same technology used on ICE trains.

    The system connects to the fastest networks (LTE or UMTS) and can process higher volumes of data by bundling provider capacity in a smart way. The bandwidth available on the train always depends on the capacity of the cellular networks the system can connect to.

    DB is also looking to make free Wi-Fi available to commuters on regional and local trains, along with additional attractive services. Rolling out Wi-Fi to regional and local transport isn't something DB can do alone; it will require the participation of local transport authorities. In addition to a number of pilot projects being conducted, Wi-Fi is now being made available in a few regional and local transport networks: the Elbe-Saale-Bahn, Expresskreuz Bremen, the Rhine-Main S-Bahn and the Stuttgart S-Bahn.

    Deutsche Bahn offers passengers and visitors 30 minutes of free Wi-Fi at 127 stations throughout Germany.

    DB will invest around two billion euros in central digitization projects over the next four years - including the expansion of the Internet offering for customers. Deutsche Bahn is currently building a seamless WiFi network for its stations and trains. Customers should be able to continue surfing comfortably after leaving the ICE at the train station without having to log in again.
