With a season ticket of the price level 1 to 6 and 13, you can also travel beyond the area of validity with the help of the connecting ticket.
It is available for adults and children (6 to the age of 14 years).
Starting location or destination of a connecting journey must lie in the area of validity of the season card; a common boundary stop suffices thereby.
Connecting tickets are only valid in combination with the season ticket for immediate departure.
It is a single ticket discounted for season ticket holders for the entire journey from the starting location to the destination.
The connecting tickets are valid in the coach class, in which the underlying season ticket and any existing supplement are also valid.

You can find the price of your ticket in our timetable information. You can find the applicable fare information by looking at the journey planner.
