Westphalia tariff Switches to digital Solutions: End of Devaluation for Tickets
The Westphalia tariff is continuing its transition to digital solutions.As of August 1, 2025, paper tickets requiring devaluation and digital tickets that need to be devalued before travel will be removed from the standard offerings. Devaluation devices on buses, trains, and platforms will be taken out of service on November 1, 2025, and gradually dismantled.
This change affects single tickets and multi-trip tickets that require devaluation. Tickets of this type that have already been purchased can still be used until the devaluation system is deactivated, after which they will no longer be valid.
Exceptions:
Exceptions apply to transition zones bordering neighboring transport associations and certain regions. In OWL, the Paderborn area is specifically excluded. A regional decision has been made to continue the four-day ticket in that area.
Only Tickets with a Fixed Validity Date
From August 2025, passengers will primarily receive tickets with a fixed validity date for the network area or tickets that are immediately valid upon purchase. These tickets can be purchased via machines, apps, online shops, buses, railways, or customer centers. The EEZY.NRW tariff, the day ticket24, and individual tickets without a devaluation field are available as alternatives for occasional travelers.
Reasons for abolition:
According to the Westphalia tariff, one reason for the abolition is the outdated technology behind the devaluation processes, which results in high maintenance costs. Furthermore, accessibility will be improved, as the additional walk to the devaluation device is an obstacle, especially for passengers with restricted mobility.
Payment Options:
Despite digitization, cash payments will still be accepted on buses in many areas. However, in many regions, contactless payment via bank card, credit card, or smartphone is already available – a system that transport companies report has been prosperous. The payment process is only initiated when the card or device is held in front of the reader.
