The KVG is a partner in the Network Fare Braunschweig (VRB).

The ticket has already been validated. If you ride frequently, you can buy 2-pack or 10-pack tickets. You must validate a part of the ticket for each trip before your trip. You will find a ticket validation machine on the bus, on the tram or on the train station platforms. Insert your ticket into the ticket validation machine and your trip will be valid. Children between 6 and 14 years old are eligible for reduced priced tickets. Children under 6 years old ride free of charge. Baby buggies, wheelchairs, hand luggage, and dogs are free of charge. The fare depends on the number of adjacent fare zones between start and end point in the network area. For counting the fare zones, it is important that the fare zones adjoin.
