This decision was taken by DB for two reasons. <strong>lighten the workload for controllers. <\/strong>Their role is now more focused on services and assistance to users.

It offers more flexibility to these last-minute travellers. They can now board a train without a ticket and <strong>buy their journey within 10 minutes of the departure time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The elimination of the paper ticket at the ticket office only applies to <strong>trains on main lines<\/strong>. It has to be said that this service was very little used. It accounted for less than 1% of all sales. On the other hand, the purchase of a ticket in advance is maintained for the equivalent of TER\/RER (S-Bahn) or regional trains (R).<\/p>\n<p><strong>DB's goal is to go all-digital<\/strong>. According to the German press, this change should come into force on 1 January 2010. <strong>from January 2022<\/strong>. From that date, long-distance trains - including ICEs - will no longer have paper tickets.
