Rail travel is booming: 23 percent more passengers between Würzburg and Schweinfurt!
Train travel in Bavaria is flourishing like never before. The increase in passenger numbers on the route from Würzburg to Schweinfurt is particularly impressive, where an increase of a whopping 23 percent was observed last year. This comes from a report by Radio gong out.
In total, passengers in Bavaria traveled almost 12 billion kilometers on local trains in 2025. To put that into perspective: That's about 80 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun! A real boom year for local public transport, as an increase of almost 15 percent is a new record.
The influence of the Deutschlandticket
One driver of this increase could be the Deutschlandticket. From now on, users have until November 30, 2025 to decide whether to adjust the price of their ticket. In the future, the ticket will cost 63 euros per month. You can easily agree to the price change in DB subscription portal or given via the DB Navigator. Anyone who does not agree must respond by the end of November, otherwise the ticket will automatically continue at the old price.
The Deutschlandticket not only saved the wallet, but also motivated people to switch more to rail. The Bavarian Railway Company (BEG) is enthusiastic about the unexpectedly strong increase, especially since the infrastructure was affected by numerous construction sites.
Outlook on mobility
The trend towards traveling by train will probably continue in the future. The BEG hopes that even more passengers will discover the advantages of local public transport. At a time when sustainable mobility is a priority, traveling by train could become more important not only for ecological reasons, but also as an attractive way to get around.
Whether you decide on the Deutschlandticket or not, the fact is: train travel is booming in the region and shows that it is worth relying on rail. Where the journey will take us in the coming years remains exciting. The quality of the trains and punctuality will have to be taken into account in order to continue to attract citizens to travel by train in the long term.
In summary, Bavaria is well on its way to becoming a true rail nation, where rail represents the environmentally friendly alternative for commuters and travelers.
