notaFun D-Ticket quirk: None of the ferries on the bodensee are included, however! There are busses that use the ferry and those are included. And you can just get out of the bus on the ship.
every additional dude who replies something like "german bureaucracy š¤·" will get blocked instantly. Unless you have some sort of interesting commentary on who it does and doesn't fail and when, or something.
Alexander Bigga@nota We used this trick right before the D-Ticket in april. It was cheaper to travel by bus from Konstanz with BW-Tarif & Bahncard than using the Ferry as pedestrian.
albernerHelge@nota In Germany we call this "Verkehrswende". š
SuperIlu@albernerHelge @nota Tell me you are a German bureaucrat w/o telling me you are a German bureaucrat š©
Reiner Jung š¬š± šŗš¦ šŖšŗ@nota What on earth...
Cosima (she/her)@gazebo_c Hm but why not just include passengers (without cars) in the normal public transit tariff, that's the part that feels a bit silly considering the bus is included?
@nota totally agree on that!
Ysegrim@ysegrim @gazebo_c @prefec2 The way I understand it is that there's no special arrangement for the ferry at all. The bus operator, who happens to be public, just pays the ferry operator, which also happens to be public, for a heavy vehicle on the ferry. And like any other vehicle, you can leave it while the ferry is going.
So it's not that they deliberately want to prevent it, it's more that they'd have to specifically enable it.

Flo@prefec2 @gazebo_c @nota @ysegrim Also known in German as āDer Amtsschimmel wiehert mal wiederā.
Translation into English by ChatGPT:
āThe phrase āDer Amtsschimmel wiehertā translates to āThe office horse is neighingā in English. This is a humorous, idiomatic expression that is used to mock bureaucratic inefficiency or absurdity in German-speaking regions.ā

@nota 84 mal geteilt. Hat schon einmal jemand beim entsprechenden Unternehmen nachgefragt, was dieser Blƶdsinn soll?
cd ~@Capandrellu @nota Der FƤhrbetrieb ist beim DTicket nicht dabei. Der Bus lƶst einen Fahrschein inkl. seiner Passagiere. MerkwĆ¼rdig ja, besonders absurd eher nicht.
Am WE unterwegs mim Zug@nota Lohnt sich die Ćberfahrt nach Merseburg/Konstanz von den Impressionen her ?
Ich bin letztens mim zug nach Konstanz.

@herr_filmkorn Wir haben es nicht bereut, ist nicht groĆartig anders als Konstanz/Friedrichshafen selber aber die Ćberfahrt ist schƶn
Kamikatze@herr_filmkorn @nota ja. Vor allem irgendwo an der Seepromenade in Meersburg zum Sonnenuntergang essen ist schƶn. Und/oder wƤhrend Sonnenuntergang rĆ¼ber. Bei guter Sicht kann man bis zu den hohen Bergen gucken.
Dragan Panjkov@nota einfach genial

Strandcafe@nota and the catamaran?
na@nota ā ļø Nicht geprĆ¼ft, klingt aber interessantāļø: Bodensee-FƤhren sind nicht im Deutschland-Ticket enthalten. Also einfach vorab in den Bus steigen. Kann jemand weiter Detais trƶten?

faye@nota oh i took this one once it is really calming tbh
Christof BĆ¼rgi@nota This actually makes total sense. No really:
As far as I know, the ferry is not subsidised. The bus and the D-ticket are. Thus, you only pay full price if you buy your ticket on the ferry.
And before anyone says anything about german bureaucracy: I've seen worse than that outside of Germany.

Mohs@nota is this already ticket-hacking?
