On the Road by Bus
In Bamberg there are city buses that stop regularly at bus stops. Anyone can ride the buses. For this you need to buy a ticket. Anyone traveling without a ticket (fare evasion) must pay a fine. There are one-way tickets, day passes, family passes and weekly or annual passes. Tickets are available directly on the bus or at the ticket machine at the ZOB, at the stop “Bahnhof Ludwigstraße” and with the VGN app! When you are on the bus and want to get off, you must press a “stop” button. The bus will then stop at the next stop.
An overview map of where which buses run and further information can be found here: https://www.stadtwerke-bamberg.de/mobilitaet/busfahren. On Google Maps you can see the stops and travel times.

On the Road by Cab
Cabs are safe and will reliably take you wherever you want to go. But cabs cost a lot of money and should only be called when they are urgently needed. Sometimes you need to get to a place urgently, for example to the doctor or to the train station with a lot of luggage. If no friend with a car has time or there is no bus at night, for example, a cab can be the solution.
- How do I order a cab?
- Just call and tell for which route you need a ride. For example: "Hallo, ich brauche ein Taxi vom Maxplatz zum Bahnhof". When you arrive at your destination, you must pay the price in cash.
There are many cab companies in Bamberg. Here are two numbers:
0951 15015
