Why did I make the train journey from Nuremberg to Fulda with two transfers instead of an intercity train in an 2.5 hour? That's how I could save money. In Nuremberg, it would have cost 2.8 euro from the airport to the train station and about 30 euro by intercity train to Fulda. But with the 9 euro ticket, I did it all for 9 euro. In Germany, a 9-euro ticket has been introduced for the summer, which is valid for one month throughout Germany for nearby transport. You can use it to take the tram, metro, bus and train nearby, but not the intercity train. However, since I made the journey to Fulda with two transfers, the three train travel were nearby travels. It’s true that the trip was much longer in time, but I didn’t have to hurry and so I checked out a bit of other cities as well. This ticket is very good for tourists. You can buy this ticket from the ticket machine at the airport, but it can also be purchased in the DB Navigator in the telephone application of the German Railways.
