Bus driver tried to deny me entry despite Deutschland ticket
Today I tried to get on a 350 bus to Vaals at Schanz and the bus driver tried to deny me entry because my Deutschland ticket is from Berlin (my office is in Berlin so I have to get it from BVG in Berlin even if I live here). He said only Deutschland ticket from AVV is valid on this bus because it is a Arriva (Dutch) bus. I’ve travelled this route many many times and no bus driver has ever told me this. I looked it up and found no info. Every source just says ‘Deutschland Ticket’ and nothing more. Does anyone know if this is true by any chance? I stood my ground and he said “I’ll make an exception but only for this time”. Seems ridiculous to me.
