With a season ticket at price level 1 to 6 and 13 you can travel outside the area of validity using an onward travel ticket.
This is available for adults and children (of between 6 and up to and including 14 years of age).
The start or destination for the onward travel ticket must lie within the season ticket’s area of validity; a shared border stop is sufficient to comply.
Onward travel tickets are only valid in conjunction with season tickets and are for immediate travel.
They provide season ticket holders with discounted single tickets for their entire journey from start to destination.
The onward travel tickets are valid in the class in which the underlying season ticket and a possibly existing supplement are also valid.

The price of a ticket depends on the type and number of tariff zones which are passed through. Please use our Fares information to determine the fare.
