Revenues that are directly connected with transport contracts or concessions are either independent of (secured revenues, primarily concession fees) or dependent on (unsecured revenues, primarily revenues from fares) the number of passengers.

In 2021, DB Regionalʼs order book rose significantly. The addi­tions of€ 18.3 billion are in contrast to losses – mainly as a result of services rendered – of about€ 8.2 billion. In addition, changes in assumptions of about€ –0.4 billion had a negative impact.

Individual figures are rounded and therefore may not add up.
