In international rail traffic, the border tariff point is a billing boundary between two neighboring state railways . Up to such a border tariff point, the transport tariff of one railway company applies, from there the tariff of the neighboring railway applies. A distinction is made between
- Virtual border tariff points on the open route, which are located on the respective national border and therefore enable an exact billing of the operating costs. The name of a virtual border tariff point, for example Mittenwald (Gr) , is made up of the name of one of the two neighboring stations (regardless of which one is closest) and one of the abbreviations Gr for border, fr for frontière (French border) or MS for middle lake .
- Real border tariff points that are congruent with an existing train station or stop . One of the two railway companies involved also settles a short stretch of the route abroad according to its own tariff. The modalities of the cross-border application of a national railway tariff must be regulated by a bi-national treaty . Real marginal tariff points are rarer than virtual ones.
Delimitations
A special hybrid between these two types is the Bayerisch Eisenstein train station , which is also a border tariff point. There the state border between Germany and the Czech Republic runs right through the station building . Furthermore, the Ahlbeck Grenz stop (located on the Usedomer Bäderbahn ) is not a border tariff point, but just a station that was named after the state border with Poland that runs in the immediate vicinity .
Bayerisch Eisenstein: station building with state border through the station building.
