Hamburg StadtTicket
Sample StadtTicket from Hamburg. This ticket is valid for two days in the greater Hamburg region, in this case, from 8th November 2002 to 9th November 2002, as well as some towns in southern Schleswig-Holstein and northern Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). In Hamburg, the first class of the S-Bahn, as well as the express and night busses, and the U-Bahn, "A-Bahn" diesel trains to cities north of Hamburg, and even ferries across the Elbe, is included in the price as long as the ticket is still valid. Other cities like Stuttgart and Frankfurt am Main, to name a few, had different train usage policies, and may not allow first-class travel without the purchase of a supplemental ticket.
Until 31 July 2003, Deutsche Bundesbahn sold the StadtTicket for unlimited rides on most modes of local public transit in selected medium and large cities within the Federal Republic of Germany, valid for two calendar days, from the beginning of service the first day, to the end of service the second day. The one city that did not have this type of ticket was Berlin. From 1 August 2003 this program has been discontinued.
Purchased in Frankfurt am Main long-distance Airport station, on 8 November 2002.
