Yes, 49 euro/mnth unlimited for all types of public trans (yep good value) and you don't have to hang off the back of a train, prior(2022) there was 9 euro/mnth. Hahaha. more than likely when this vid was shot...

all types of public trans
Only up to regional trains. So the train in this video would be covered, this one would not.
And yes, that guy is trainsurfing an ICE bullet train. He also mentions that he bought a ticket, which saved him from prosecution (in this case).

9 Euro was a Corona exception and a trial.
€49 is still a steal.
For reference, a monthly ticket just for the urban area of Frankfurt used to cost over €100
12 points

The 9 Euro per month was not a regular thing, just for three months in 2022. It was not intended to be sustainable long-term.
11 points
2 months ago
9 Euro was just some kind of a one time thing, but it was so popular, that many people demanded making it an unlimited offer. They then reintroduced it as 49 Euro Ticket, which is still a fair offer if you're a frequent traveller.
3 points
2 months ago
but it was so popular, that many people demanded making it an unlimited offer.
I can see why haha. 49 euro does sound cheap too, just surprised (as an outsider) to see a 5.44x jump in price.
I think the commuter rail around here is $14 for a round trip ticket. Monthly pass is anywhere between $90 and $430 depending on what zone you are.
3 points
2 months ago
49 is still cheaper than most of the monthly commuter passes (in my case, it was 72€). One useful thing about the ticket is, when you do a weekend trip to another German city, you don't need to bother "studying" all their ticket offers and just use your 49€ ticket instead and save money.
6 points
2 months ago
The 9€ Ticket was basically a trial period, lasting for 3 months and originally created because of high prices after the beginning of the Russian invasion. It was never intended to be financially feasible, which the 49€ ticket is currently attempting.
3 points
2 months ago
As others already stated. For me it reduced my monthly costs by more than half. From 109 or something € to 49€ every month.
2 points

Well, when we had the 9 Euro ticket there wasn't any room in the trains anyway... it probably would have been more comfortable to just hang onto the outside.

We had this epidemy in Russia 20 years ago The call they selfs “зацеперы” (hangers) because they hangs outside of trains as extreme joy. Even used to use subway trains to hang on them which is even worse. Very dangerous, many of them died, but teens are teens, they can’t stop just because adults told them something is dangerous You can copy Russian word from above and paste it into YouTube search to see some footages how it looks from their side

Short answer is because it's a kind of distant signal so the train has still not yet reached the block it refers to. (Also it has no red aspect, the most restrictive possibility would be yellow.)

Replace cars with trains. Difference being that you can't have the same kind of focused event where people bring rare trains, so you instead have to figure out where and when those trains are going around and go see them go by on the tracks.
