How to calculate the fares
For Nuremberg, greater Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen
Rides within Greater Nuremberg
Fares for rides within Greater Nuremberg depend on the number of zones and part-zones travelled. You can calculate your fare by counting the zones and part-zones you want to cross in the fare-zone map. The total number of zones equals your fare zone.
