Since October 15, local time, German Railways has fully implemented a ban on alcohol at about 5,700 train stations across the country, prohibiting passengers from drinking alcoholic beverages in station lobbies, platforms, etc., in order to improve station safety and hygiene. According to German Railways regulations, restaurants in train stations are not restricted by the ban. Passengers can still bring unopened alcoholic beverages on the train. In principle, drinking alcohol is permitted on trains. Railway security personnel will discourage irregularities during routine inspections, and those who repeatedly violate regulations may be banned from entering the station. Deutsche Bahn said that it had previously tested measures to ban alcohol at nearly 40 major train stations, during which time there was a reduction in garbage and clashes at train stations.
