Consumer protection is suing Deutsche Bahn – the ruling would have an impact on thousands of customers. Previously, the Bahncard could be canceled up to six weeks before the end of the three-month term.

However, this period was shortened to four weeks. If consumers do not cancel their subscription in time, it will automatically continue for another year. This is a connection contract that, according to the law, should be terminable on a monthly basis. If necessary, it could also go to the Federal Court of Justice (BGH)
