Strollers and prams for children
You can travel free of charge by bus when bringing a stroller or pram. In addition, children under 7 years of age can travel free of charge when accompanied by an adult. This benefit applies to city bus routes*. Please note that during peak times, you may not be able to board the first bus.
Price: €0
The pram or stroller should be pushed onto the bus in the direction of travel. Prams must be placed in the designated space in the middle of the bus. If these spaces are full, additional prams cannot be accommodated for safety reasons. The child must remain in the pram/stroller, and the adult must hold onto the pram/stroller throughout the journey.
When exiting the bus, the safest method is to pull the pram/stroller out.
For safety reasons, the carriage of large or heavy items is prohibited.
Bikes and kickboards
There is a charge for transporting bicycles and non-folding kickboards on the bus (cash only). The bicycle or kickboard must be held on, and the bus’s centre stand clamps must be used throughout the journey. Bicycles or boards may be carried on the bus if there is space and the driver judges that it will not cause inconvenience or danger to other passengers.
Price: €1.50 (cash)
Please note that large shopping bicycles and tricycles are not allowed on the bus.
When boarding with a bicycle, you must use the front door to pay for the trip and check with the driver whether the bicycle will fit. After that, you can proceed to the middle door to bring the bicycle to the centre of the bus.
Folding bikes and folding or small kickboards that can be carried in the passenger foot space can be taken on board free of charge.
