Unlike its long-distance counterpart DB Fernverkehr , DB Regio does not operate trains on its own account. Services are ordered and paid for by the Bundesländer or their Landkreise . Some states have awarded long-term contracts to DB Regio (usually 10 to 15 years).
ÖstgötaTrafiken has given DB Regio Sverige a contract to operate local trains for 10 years from December 12, 2010.[ 1]
Since Deutsche Bahn's purchase of Arriva in January 2010, DB Regio's operations in the United Kingdom are now known as Arriva UK Trains .
