The Problem

Passenger complaints go unheard. TechBahn makes sure they're heard.

TechBahn is the first app that structurally records complaints in German rail transport and automatically helps passengers get compensated, across all rail operators. Every report also becomes a data point for an independent quality database that doesn't yet exist in German rail transport.

6.2M compensation claims in 2025
€156.1M paid out to passengers
70+ rail operators with no shared database

The Solution

One app for every rail operator

Capture complaints

Structured recording of delays, cancellations and service issues, across operators, in minutes and without paperwork.

Automatic compensation

TechBahn files the claim for you and follows up. You only pay a €2.99 service fee, and only if successful.

Data platform for institutions

Aggregated, anonymized reports form an independent database on service quality.

Why TechBahn

Neutral, independent, irreplaceable

  • Multi-Operator Neutrality: Unlike operator-owned channels, TechBahn isn't tied to a single rail company. Passengers use one app, no matter who they're travelling with.
  • Independent Data Base: Aggregated reports come from real passenger feedback and give regulators and transport associations a cross-operator view of service quality for the first time.

About me

From the field, for the field

Before TechBahn was an app, it was an experience: several years as a train conductor in direct contact with passengers, their questions, their frustration, their rights. Since 2024, I've advised passengers daily as a customer service representative on exactly the problems TechBahn is meant to solve.

This closeness to everyday life on the rails is why TechBahn wasn't built on a drawing board, but grew out of real conversations on real platforms.
