Dogs can be transported free of charge
What's the problem?
Five million dogs live in Germany; the current policy of the German Railway and many other public transport companies make it difficult for the caregivers to do without a car. Since a dog (which is larger than a house cat) has to pay half of the normal fare, it costs as much as the price for an adult person with a Bahncard 50. A dog traveling by train pays as much as n individually traveling child between 6-14 years, but without the exceptions that children traveling with humans, or people with disabilities, etc. have. These facts make rail travel unaffordable for many human-dog relations. And this, although it is not allowed to make reservations for dogs, which to the fullest extent becomes a problem for large dogs, for which the Deutsche Bahn does not declare itself responsible. In addition, there are massive handicaps in everyday travel; for example, tickets for dogs are not made available online or as mobile phone tickets, etc.
What's the measure?
Free transportation of dogs as well as a cancellation of the special treatment of dogs, as long as they do not serve the safety of fellow travelers.
