* if they get your ID, it means you'll be donating from 40 EUR to the full ticket price to the DBs shareholders (mostly the German state, if that makes you feel better)
* You don't have to pay instantly, but usually by bank transfer within 10 days
* As a last line of defencedefense, conductors can call the police and legally keep you from leaving to prevent you from "illegally obtaining a service"* I have no idea if there are special rules if you don't possess a german German ID

* On small ''RegionalBahn'' or ''RegionalExpress'' regional trains (see picture, ''not'' the loco+waggon setup!), there usually is a ticket machine
* You might be able to quickly check if there's a conductor on the train (which is not always the case) before you buy a ticket. ''be careful on multi-waggon wagon trains''
* Sometimes transportation network's rules demand you buy a ticket before getting on the train, but AFAIK DB conductors are even obligated to sell you a ticket, albeit for a higher price
''This is risky if there is no working ticket machine, because I wouldn't swear to the last part. I also once experienced a conductor actually hiding in the drivers cabin (they are often in there but you should be able to spot them).'' --[[User:atopia|Ben]]
