Local/Express bus routes
In article , Neil
Williams writes The difference in bus and train fares seems to be a British thing - in the German Verkehrsverbuende (like TfL or the PTEs) there is no differential - your ticket is valid for a through journey, with connections if desired, on any or all of the available modes of transport. There isn't a "train fare" or a "bus fare", just a "public transport fare". A good example being my recent trip to Dusseldorf - the area has exactly three fares, called A, B, and C. A single B ticket[*] was good for a journey consisting of: * tram through suburban streets, which turned into pre-Metro through the central area to the Hbf; * rail to Wuppertal; * monorail along the river a bit; * (if I'd wanted) bus into the suburbs. A second B ticket got me on the monorail, two trains, and the strange Skytrain thing back to the airport. [*] Bought on the tram, incidentally. -- Clive D.W.
