My Humble Opinion On The 49-Euro Bahn/Bus Ticket: Starts Tomorrow in Germany

 The ticket deal is this.....where you live (no matter), you can buy a 49-Euro monthly ticket and go anywhere via subway, train or bus.  

Limits?  You can't ride 1st class.  You can't ride the ICE high-speed rail (even on 2nd class).  

Seats being full?  That's probably one of the three big negatives.  

Being a great deal if you live in a metro area (Mainz, Koln, Berlin, etc)?  Yes.  If you live in Kasierslautern or some town of less than 100,000 people.....it probably won't be a big plus-up.

If you were making a big trip from Frankfurt to Hamburg?  I'd buy a regular 1-day ticket....ride ICE (high speed), and reserve my seat....avoiding this 49-Euro deal.  

Good for a whole month?  Yes.
