With the single tickets you get on, change lines, get off - and back on again! Anything goes as long as it is on the most direct route to your destination. Round trips and return journeys are not permitted, however.
Single / Day Tickets
Buying your ticket
You can buy single, day, group and bicycle tickets in the Online Shop or via the hvv Apps with a discount of 7%. Alternatively, you can buy them at a ticket machine or on the bus – in Hamburg you will need a hvv prepaid card (in German) to do this, or in the surrounding region you can still pay with cash.
