Public Transport

A single ticket is valid for travelling one way in one zone, where the whole city is a single zone. You can change to different lines in the course, but you must not interrupt your journey. Single tickets can be purchased at a price of 1.80 Euro at ticket machines in underground stations or at points of advance sale. You can purchase tickets on board of busses and trams at an increased rate of 2.20 Euro. Tickets must be validated at the begin of a journey. To validate your ticket stamp the ticket at the blue machines located at the entrance of underground stations as well as on buses and trams. Tickets bought directly from the tram or bus driver (and some tickets from ticket machines in underground stations) are automatically validated and need not be stamped. Apart from single tickets there are passes for longer periods of time. Passes are available for 24 hours and 72 hours (beginning at the time when stamped), or as weekly, monthly or annual passes.
