One region, one ticket: VRB makes people mobile and connects them in the Braunschweig region – in a quick, comfortable and climate-friendly manner.
VRB is responsible for the unified range of tickets for the region around Braunschweig, Wolfsburg and the Harz Mountains. Together with the Greater Braunschweig regional association and 19 transport companies, we guarantee attractive local public transport.
The results can be seen: Every year, around 100 million people travel by bus and rail in the region. The special advantage is that whether travelling by bus, tram or local train, the passenger needs only one ticket.
“One region – one ticket: Our modern range of tickets for work and leisure, adults and children, students and trainees makes public transport in the Braunschweig region attractive. And with the VRB app and ticket machines, sales on the bus and at advance-ticket offices as well as our season ticket centre, we offer every passenger the distribution channel they want.”
