Deutsche Bahn offers €20-ticket for Wall fall anniversary
Published: 4 Nov 09 15:53 CET
Online: http://www.thelocal.de/money/20091104-23031.html
Deutsche Bahn on Wednesday announced a special €20-ticket in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – but they will only be available for a limited time.
- Drunken Munich U-Bahn train driver busted (8 Feb 12)
- Arctic cold wreaks quirky havoc across Germany (8 Feb 12)
- Action! Babelsberg film studio fêtes 100 years (8 Feb 12)
The timing mirrors the day and time of an East German press conference that announced the immediate lifting of travel restrictions for the country’s residents. The Berlin Wall fell hours later, speeding the collapse of the communist regime and German reunification a year later.
The offer, available online and select ticket offices, is valid for travel on the 20 days between November 12 and December 1, Deutsche Bahn said.
No exchanges or refunds will be allowed, and tickets are limited to available space on trains.
