How to validate your ticket
Tickets must be validated before boarding. 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.
A single ticket is valid for travelling one way in one zone. You may change to different lines in the course, but you may not interrupt your journey. Validated tickets can be used for all public transport (bus, tram, underground, train, Badner Bahn and most regional bus lines). A single ticket costs EUR 2.40. Maps of transport network.
