Southern german residents interested in sharing tickets?

I'm basically interested, but travel cost is an issue. However, there might be a chance to considerably cut that down. The idea would be to go to Berlin on thursday or friday, stay there for a few days, and then return home (and call that a small vacation). Would also need an accomodation, of course. --Ekorren

Cheap travel to Berlin

There's that new offer for weekdays similar to the well known Wochenendticket, called Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket. Like that one and the Ländertickets, it's valid only in local trains, and not before 9 am on weekdays. Unlike those, it is not valid in non-railway-traffic like bus, metro, tram and ferries.

Using only local trains is slow, but in a group that doesn't matter, does it?

The Quer-durchs-Land-Ticket is 34 EUR for one person and 5 each for the second to fifth. #6 needs a new one. This results in the following pricing scheme for a small group:

# people	price per person in EUR
	Mon-Fri	Sat/Sun
	(QDLT)	(SWT)
1	34.00	37.00
2	19.50	18.50
3	14.67	12.33
4	12.33	9.25
5	10.80	7.40
6	14.67	12.33
7	12.57	10.47

SWT includes local traffic within of Berlin on the same day, QDLT doesn't. Starting at 9 from Tübingen allows me to reach Berlin before midnight via either Würzburg or Nürnberg and do a detour or a two hours stopover at a station of free choice along the way (there might be hashes). Throwing another 8.40 EUR into the pot makes that four hours (by starting earlier than 9 am). --Ekorren 11:16, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
