  • You can buy the best price ticket with the Tickets mobile ticket application. The ticket is sold to both adults and children/teenagers (ages 7–19).

    The price of the ticket is determined by the number of trips you make. As the name suggests, the ticket guarantees the cheapest price without you having to know in advance how much you will travel.

    The best price ticket works for example during 24 hours like this:

    • For the first ticket, you pay the same as a standard single ticket
    • For the second ticket, you also pay the same as a regular one-time ticket
    • When you buy a third ticket, the price of the day ticket becomes full and you therefore only pay 50% of the price of a regular single ticket and your ticket becomes a day ticket
    • After this, you can travel with the ticket free of charge for 24 hours from the time of purchase of the first ticket

    Accordingly, the ticket also changes to a 30-day season ticket, if you buy the best price tickets within 30 days for an amount equal to the price of the season ticket.

    Even if you don't travel so much that the limits mentioned above are met, you won't lose anything, because the best price ticket will always cost no more than the price of a single ticket.
