What is meant by local transport and where does long-distance transport begin?
Hello there,
my son needs the Bahncard 25
He might also receive the "H" mark in addition to his GdB rating of 60. Then he'd be allowed to travel on local public transport for free. But what exactly does that mean, and where does it start and end? Is the Essen-Dülmen/Buldern route considered local public transport?
Do you get discounts on train travel without the badge?
Local traffic is called RE/RB/S-Bahn so stop the trains at almost all stations.
Remote transport means:
ICE/IC As these trains drive over many stations and keep only at main stations.
I fear that in this case a different definition is meant, namely according to the Social Code (SGB IX) in the “Part 2 Special Provisions for the Participation of Disabled People (Swedish Disabled Law) Chapter 13
disabled people in public transport.
See §147, as mentioned in the reply of Pauli1965.

Apparently the questioner did not award this answer as the most helpful. if this were the case, it would hardly have happened.

Look here. Maybe the law will help you.

IC/EC, ICE and D trains are long distance trains and are therefore not affected by the regulation.
Distance trains can only be used free of charge if they are released for tickets from the road network.
This new free-wheeling system applies without any restriction to traffic allies or route directories.
Transport conditions for special groups of persons
adapted accordingly.
All local trains of the DB and rail passenger transport trains from other railway companies can now be used nationwide in the 2nd class without additional ticket with the green-oranged heavy-handed card and the leaflet with valid value mark.

As a rule, close-to-earth vehicles are urban buses, trams, partly S-Bahn trains and under certain conditions also collective taxis. Regional babies, IC and ICE are part of long-distance transport. However, depending on where you live, you should ask for this in the relevant central office(DB or its local transport association).
Local traffic refers to the train, not the distance.
Say: he can only use S-Bahn and regional trains.
Mastercard’s answer is correct! In the case of a skillful route and avoiding IC and ICE trains, you can travel across Germany with local trains.
