The same regulations apply to the Deutschlandsemesterticket as to the Deutschlandticket (Germany Ticket). No bicycle or dog can be taken on the Deutschlandsemesterticket. The local fare regulations apply.


Taking your bike or dog beyond the VVO


If you are travelling with your bicycle beyond the VVO, you need a bicycle day ticket for local transport (German tariff) at a price of 6.50 euros per bicycle (as of 11 December 2022).


NEW: Since 1 April 2024, the local transport day pass for bicycles has also been recognised on buses and trams in the Upper Elbe Transport Association (VVO).


If you are travelling with your dog beyond the VVO, larger dogs count as passengers and are charged as an adult person (booking under the term "dog" instead of a passenger. Small dogs (up to the size of a domestic cat) can travel free of charge in a transport container.
