Popular modes of transport in Europe
- Public transport: buses, trams, trolleybuses in European cities run strictly on schedule. It is advisable to enter public transport with a ticket purchased in advance from the machine or when boarding the driver - otherwise, when the controller appears, you will have to pay a fine (in Germany - 50 euros). As a rule, a single ticket is valid for all types of public transport. When buying a ticket, which is valid for a certain number of trips, it must be validated at the entrance using a special device installed in the passenger compartment or at the bus stop before boarding. In many European cities, tourists are given the opportunity to acquire a tourist pass - thanks to it, you can not only travel by public transport, but also visit museums and take part in excursion programs at a discount.
- Rail transport: You can travel to European cities by train by purchasing a ticket at any railway station. If you wish, you can pay for both a separate trip and purchase a pass valid for a certain time or without any restrictions on movement in Europe.
