Tickets

Information about our tickets How much a journey costs depends on how far and how often you travel and at which time of day you begin your journey. Children under the age of 6 travel free of charge when accompanied by anadult. There are KinderTickets for children aged 6 to 14 inclusive. You can buy almost all tickets directly from the bus driver when getting on the bus. Please have your change ready.

You don't travel regularly by bus or train? Then we recommend the following tickets:

The EinzelTicket is worth it if you only make one journey a day. Return journeys and tours are thus not possible.

The 4erTicket is flexible. You buy 4 journeys that you can use when you want. (Example: 4 journeys for 1 person or 2 journeys for 2 people). You save around 15% compared to an EinzelTicket.
