Everything you need to know about Germany's 9-euro ticket!

To cushion rising fuel and living costs, German lawmakers have introduced a discounted nation-wide travel pass for June, July and August this year. Anyone, including non-German residents and tourists can buy it. It is available for purchase on the Deutsche Bahn (DB) website, and also through various public transport apps (e.g. BSAG), ticket vending machines and shops.

You may use all means of public transport in Germany. This includes buses, trams, subways, light rail, regional and regional express trains.

The 9-euro ticket does not entitle you to travel on long-distance ICE (Intercity Express), IC (Intercity), EC (Eurocity) or Thalys connections. Other private operators, such as FlixTrain, are not participating in the scheme either. They can not be used for travel in first class carriages.

Local transportation recommendations and directions

Public transport in Bremen is efficient and highly recommended. Unless you arrive later evening at Airport Bremen, it is recommended to take the tram (“Straßenbahn”) line no. 6 with direction “Universität” to the city center (Central Station = “Hauptbahnhof”), this trip takes 16 min.

The trip with the same tram line no. 6 from “Hauptbahnhof” to the final station “Universität-Süd” takes 14 minutes. From there, you walk about 200 m to the "GW1 Hörsaal" building at the Universitätsallee (see interactive Campus Map). The tram tickets could be purchased on the tram (big box in the front part), a single ticket is ~ €2,80. At the airport you will also find ticket machines at the tram stop.

A taxi from the Bremen Airport to the University costs around 25-30€. It will take approximately 20 minutes, depending on the traffic situation. Taxis wait in front of the airport and the Central Station.
