“Semesterticket“ for Students

Students have the big advantage that their student ID is also a ticket for all bus lines in and around Regensburg (as far as Wackersdorf and Neumarkt in the North). Regional trains (SE, RB, RE) to Neumarkt, Schwandorf, Bad Abbach, Sünching and Eggmühl may also be used  for free with your student ID.

Please note: Your “Semesterticket“ is only valid with an ID card or passport. Shrink-wrapped student IDs are not valid as train tickets! If you are going further by train, you only need to buy a ticket from the end point of the Semesterticket zone. However, this only applies if there is a scheduled stop at the end point (e.g. if you are going by train to Munich, you only need to purchase a ticket from Eggmühl to Munich as long as there is indeed a scheduled stop at Eggmühl).

Guest Researchers and other guests who are not registered as students can buy inexpensive monthly bus tickets. For further information on schedules and prices see: RVV

Bicycles

Going by bike is a good mode of transportation in Regensburg, and there are many beautiful bike paths in the surrounding areas.

You can buy used bikes in most bicycle stores in town (starting at about EUR 50). There is also a bike rental outlet at the train station (for day trips, etc.). In some  student dorms, there are also bicycle auctions. Please refer to the message boards in the dorms.
