    @bovine3dom All SWEG trains apparently(?), and they go to Strasbourg. This is my reading of the document of coverage linked on DB’s website.

    I didn’t exactly fall for SNCF not showing the best prices – I know it doesn’t. But my guess was that the strategy you chose wouldn’t end up being cheaper than the promo fares on the TGV I found, which was wrong but not by much :). I think the last TER leg was actually the correct lowest price because it wasn’t messed up by adjacent TER legs.

    @stefanlindbohm fair. my rule of thumb is that if you're spending more than €20 a day on TER travel in France, you haven't found the right loophole in that region's broken ticketing system yet

    @bovine3dom Well there goes that. Unless they specifically mean S-bahn only? I was thinking of the Regio trains.

    EDIT: Nevermind, it’s a ”Regio S-Bahn” (wtf is that?)

    @bovine3dom I also did have a quick look at the involved regions to see if there was reduction or period cards that could help btw. That was my first hunch. But all of the cards seem more expensive than even the fare I found, given one would only use it for one return trip 🤷🏻‍♂️

    @stefanlindbohm @bovine3dom the document you're probably looking at is saying all SWEG trains within Germany. Deutschlandticket famously not valid to Strasbourg except for <27 year olds in July and August, not on the tram either 🙃
