There are people living inside the train with a Bahncard 100 similar to the van people in the US. For example her: http://www.tyatravel.com/en/about/ http://www.tyatravel.com/en/about/ A Bahncard 100 is a really nice perk you often get when working for a bigger German company. The company saves taxes and gets a discount, the employee gets unlimited free transportation. For private use, it is hard to justify. You have to travel quite a lot to beat the price of a Bahncard 25/50 using special offers combined with local public transit flatrate ticket. Depends on where you live of course, but I think I would have to visit about 2 cities every week using special offer tickets, to reach the Bahncad 100 costs. It gets much more expensive, though, when you decide to travel very spontaneously and don't like to take trains at unusual times, which I prefer. Different story of course if you live in the South/North and want to visit the North/South regularly.
