The tariff association of the federal and non-federal railways in Germany ( TBNE ) is an organization for the creation of tariffs for travel by rail, where trains from two or more railway companies are used, and for the settlement of tickets based on them for such connections, i.e. one to enable continuous dispatch. This essentially concerns the settlement between railway companies owned by the Federal Republic of Germany ("Federal Railways ") on the one hand and those that do not belong to the Federal Republic of Germany on the other, i.e. private companies or those owned by federal states or municipalities, referred to as non-federally owned railways.

The board of the association consists of the chairman, currently (as of January 2018) Jörg Strubberg (DB Regio AG), and the spokesman for the non-federal railways, currently Bastian Goßner (Go-Ahead Verkehrsgesellschaft Deutschland GmbH), managing director is Bernd Rössner. The TBNE is a non-incorporated association ( § 54 BGB).

Assignments and history

The activity of the TBNE is limited to local rail passenger transport and thus excludes long-distance transport. However, this does not include long- distance transport services such as those provided by subsidiaries of Transdev GmbH (Harz-Berlin-Express) or Flixmobility . There are, however, some coped included routes, d. H. those on which rail traffic has been replaced by motorized bus transport . The work of the TBNE is financed exclusively by its member companies and is primarily directed inwards.

The story began in 1951 when the Personen-Tarifverband Deutsche Bundesbahn - German non-federally owned railways was founded.

At that time it was essentially about the so-called kick - off tariff between the Federal Railroad and other railway companies that carried out their own passenger transport on their own rail network. In the course of the so-called railway reform , i.e. the extensive introduction of competition on the entire rail network of all railway infrastructure companies (EIU), on the one hand the task changed and on the other hand a name change of the organization became necessary.

The mutual recognition of tickets and their revenue sharing can be based on the membership of the respective RU in the TBNE (additive pricing in "kick-off traffic"), on a bilateral contractual relationship between RUs or on a contractual relationship within a transport association for which the RU provides rail transport services and whose tariff the RU also applies.

Members

As of July 2020

future

The TBNE is to be replaced in the future by the Deutschlandtarifverbund GmbH. In February 2020, around 50 representatives from transport companies and public authorities signed a declaration of intent to found the Deutschlandtarifverbund. Public transport authorities and transport companies become shareholders in the company, which is to be founded in mid-2020. The company has the task of designing and further developing the nationwide transport tariff in local transport. The current corporate tariff of Deutsche Bahn in local transport is to be continued in a competition-neutral manner through the tariff association. Among other things, the distribution of income between those involved is to be reorganized.
