      Interrail allows you to train everywhere in Europe EXCEPT your home country.

      It’s clearly meant to be used for traveling and not regularly.

      On the other hand, a pass like that is meant for people that use train regularly in their home country.

      It’s two very different products.

      Having public transport available without having to worry about buying a ticket just because of the subscription you already have anyway is far better than interrail

      This ticket is not for long distance travel but for shorter distances - it will be an extension to interrail and not a replacement

          and that’s contradicting my point how?

          In Germany the ticket is only for regional trains - if you want to go from Berlin to Munich you’ll have to pay money to get there in 4 hours or spend the whole day travelling in 12+ hours

          how would that be an alternative to interrail?

      So what? It’s for young people only. The kind that find your username “funny”. Just a meme bro!

      Well, thankfully for other young people too. Leaves out the other part of the population. So this is welcome.

      EDIT: I stand corrected, adults can also buy. Starting at 194€ for the right to travel four days a month in more than a single country.
