The station pricing system: transparent, clear and stable

The classification of all approx. 5,400 stations into seven categories is the basis for the "SPS 11" pricing system. Each station is allocated to a category according to standard national criteria.

The current pricing system for using the passenger stations of DB Station&Service AG contains a price catalogue with seven competent entity-specific category prices. Using a category price model makes it possible to avoid price fluctuations and price peaks, thus continuing to warrant a high level of planning certainty for our customers. Each station is allocated to a category according to standard national features; as a rule, top category stations (category 1 and 2) are primarily major junction stations, while the lower categories (categories 5, 6) are usually stations with lesser traffic significance or infrastructure or, in the case of category 7, they are simply stopping points. Further explanations about the station categories are available on the internet at www.deutschebahn.com/bahnhofskategorien.

Stations are allocated to categories on the basis of the segments infrastructure, traffic significance and features, each with two defined elements, using a mathematical model. The resulting values of all elements are added together to give the basic categorisation number for a station. Defined limit values then result in the final allocation of a station to one of the seven categories.

Altogether, category allocation of the stations is based on standard, objective and transparent standards, without any different evaluation for service type of train category.

The second step in the station pricing system, which is the actual pricing step, is characterised above all by the regional reference to an SDPT competent entity, giving it higher market affinity (Chart 8). In future there will be 196 station prices (7 categories x 28 competent entities) (Chart 9). This means that the prices are more highly differentiated than in the previous pricing system, "SPS 05", which had prices for six categories according to the Federal Lands (6 categories x 16 Federal Lands = 96 station prices).

Each of the 196 competent entity- and category-specific prices is based on a pure cost relation plus a standard percentage profit contribution (principle of standard cost coverage). This has taken account of the stipulations made by the supervisory authority with regard to pricing. The deviating cost situation or differences in capacity usage can result in price differences among stations in the same category between the areas of the competent entities. This is why the prices are not always graduated in steps up to the higher station categories.

In addition, the train length factor has been re-devised to take appropriate account of the infrastructure requirements for longer trains. Furthermore, the train length factor means that the breakdown of station price distribution between short- and long-distance transport is practically unchanged compared to "SPS 05", minimising monetary distortions between the modes of transport as far as possible.

The current price list and the General Terms and Conditions can be found at the end of this page.

Prerequisite for usage is a valid Station Usage Agreement in which DB Station&Service AG grants the railway undertaking a right to use the infrastructure of the stations.

Details for submitting applications for station use and for concluding Station Usage Agreements are contained in the General Terms and Conditions. Please note that applications for non-regular services should be received in writing regularly DB Station&Service AG 18 working days before the intended day of service. The application form for station usage in non-regular services can be found using the selection menu on the right at the top of this page.
