Terrible Deutsche Bahn - monstrous greed!
The experience just keeps getting lower and lower with the deutsche bahn. Just when one thinks, they cant get any lower, they nail an even lower level.The hunger, fantasies and greed with which they operate is of monstrous proportions!
Deutschland ticket is a great idea and mostly works but what makes it average is that it is still attached to the Deutsche Bahn. Avoid buying the ticket from them like a plague and look for alternative options of buying!
The payment via bank debit for the ticket which is mentioned would be debited on the 5th working day of the month, can be debited on the first or the second day of the month too throwing off one's plans for payment and creating confusion.
And then when the bank debit doesnt go through, an email comes from them asking to pay in 7 days via bank transfer. And when you email that you are not in Germany and need more time to transfer , any subsequent email is not responded to!
In short, even the payment guidelines for the Deutschland ticket are not consistent and contradict what is mentioned on the website. Sounds so much like the Deutsche Bahn!
