Erstattunganspruch des Bahnkunden bei Verspätung

Eisenbahnunternehmen müssen ihren Kunden bei Verspätungen auch dann Fahrpreise teilweise erstatten, wenn höhere Gewalt der Grund der Verspätung ist. Das entschied heute der Europäische Gerichtshof.

Bahnreisende haben auch bei höherer Gewalt, z.B. Unwetter oder Streik, Anspruch auf Entschädigung für Verspätungen. Reisende haben laut EU-Gesetz bei Verspätungen von ein bis zwei Stunden ein Recht auf Erstattung von mindestens einem Viertel des Preises der Fahrkarte. Ab einer Verspätung von zwei Stunden müssen die Bahnunternehmen mindestens die Hälfte des Preises erstatten.

Dies solle keine Bestrafung für den Unternehmer sein, sondern den Preis kompensieren, welchen der Fahrgast als Gegenleistung für eine nicht vertragsgemäße Leistung erbracht hat.

Die Deutsche Bahn reagierte positiv auf die Entscheidung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs.

Ein Vergleich mit den Rechten von Passagieren im Flug-, Schiffs- oder Busverkehr sei jedoch nicht angebracht, so die Luxemburger Richter. Diese Verkehrsformen seien nicht mit dem Bahnverkehr vergleichbar.

Das Urteil betrifft europaweit alle Bahnunternehmen. Klauseln innerhalb der Beförderungsbedingungen, die Entschädigungen bei höherer Gewalt ausschließen, sind demnach ungültig.

    I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I've had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Many thanks!
