replies: text: This article is more to do with DB as a company. Rail transport in Germany has a course map of the entire passenger network (see right). The DB site also has detailed maps of every Land showing all stations (outside S-Bahn networks), equally copyright. TiffaF (talk) 10:11, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: I have twice reverted the addition of a section called 'The many Problems of the Deutsche Bahn' because it did not seem to be up to the standard required of Wikipedia. There were some sweeping statements of criticism which need to be recast from a neutral perspective and supported by credible citations if they are to stand. There was also some slang - the 'gadget' causing the accident was in fact a length of steel tyre from a defective wheel - which would need tidying up. Both times the addition was made by unregistered users. Please understand that I am not 'against' seeing DB's problems recorded, but we need to do this in an appropriate and balanced way, citing authoritative sources. Thanks. --Bermicourt (talk) 21:56, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  DB's 'problems' 

message: The first paragraph of the article states:
:DB is organised as a business group and has over 500 subsidiaries. It describes itself as the second-largest transport company in the world after Deutsche Post AG and is the largest railway operator and infrastructure owner in Europe. About two billion passengers are carried each year.
Going by the English definition of "subsidiary" (the New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as "a company controlled by a holding company"), that sounds rather excessive and inefficient. The statement is cited and refers to a PDF in German. Could someone who speaks German take a look at the PDF and confirm that this statement is in fact true? —INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 09:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: i checked the pdf and on the bottom of page 19 it states: "Zum Unternehmen DB gehören insgesamt 525 Gesellschaften (Stand 2007)." which translates literally as: "to the firm DB belong totally 525 companies (as of 2007)". so i guess the phrase in the article checks out... --Swissjoker (talk) 23:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

message: (Machine Translation)
You buy a '1. Class ticket at the TVG from Stuttgart to Karlsruhe (12.54Uhr to 13:30 pm). 'You will receive two tickets from Deutsche Bahn for the price of 29 € (first class unless TVG and ICE) and an additional ticket of 10 € (supplement for TVG and ICE). This results in a total price for the TVG (5 times daily) from 39 €. In the first class ticket for the rapid transportation (except for TVG and ICE) is a 'value-added tax of 4.63 €.' This amount is incorrect. The gross price is the net price of '24, 37 € '(81 percent) and the reported value added tax in the amount of '4, 63 €' (19 percent) combined. If you divide the 24.37 now € 81 parts by hundreds, the results for one percent of '0, € 300 864 197 '. This multiplied by 100 (equal to 100 percent), resulting in a gross price of '30, € 08,641,975. That is, between the gross price of the Deutsche Bahn rail tickets from 29 € and the price of mathematical train '30, 08,641,975 € 'a mathematical error arises amount of € 1.08641975. The 'net price of 24.37 € will be divided by 81%.  '"Have I done right?" 94.125.164.114 (talk) 09:03, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

message: maybe i'm missing something, but i cannot understand this revert: Deutsche Bahn is not comparable with Deutsche Post. Bahn is a railway company which transports goods, but mainly passangers, Post is a company which transports letters and parcels only. maybe the source for the misleading assumption that Bahn and Post play in the same arena stems from a misunderstood statement by Deutsche Bahn.

thread_title:  Deutsche Bahn and Deutsche Post are two different things 

message: It is currently unclear who owns it.   It is stated that the German Government is required to own "a majority" of it.   But do they, in fact,  own ALL of it ?   It says there were plans to sell 25% of the shares into the market, but this was postponed.  Is this still the case ?Eregli bob (talk) 22:06, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: German Wikipedia says that "Das Grundkapital des Unternehmens beträgt 2,15 Milliarden Euro und ist in 430 Millionen auf Inhaber lautende, nennwertlose Stückaktien eingeteilt. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist Inhaber aller Anteile.[10][11]" This means, there are 430 million stocks, which are all owned by the Federal Republic of Germany. -- Metrophil44 (talk) 13:45, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  DB Station&Service merge 

message: Just wondering? The article lead states, "the company is a joint-stock company (AG)" but also "The Federal Republic of Germany is its single shareholder." A definition of joint-stock company (in the lead) would seem to be "A joint-stock company is an artificial person; it has legal existence separate from persons composing it. It can sue and can be sued in its own name. It is created by law, established for commercial purposes, and comprises a large number of members, but is actually a State-owned enterprise.  -- Otr500 (talk) 10:59, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

message: London Buses were 'privatised' in 1994 and 34% of our electorate voted to leave Europe in 2020.
Why are some of London's buses run by Arriva, a subsidiary of DB who are owned by the German government?
Surely this is a double contradiction of the UK government's agendas? 2A00:23EE:12D9:1257:60EC:A6A2:BA17:601 (talk) 23:23, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
