In reply to Mercy.

Hi Mercy, thank you for your message. I personally do not know the answer to this specific question. It would be best to address it to VVS or SSB directly.
All the best

Hello I’m new in Stuttgart and just bought a monthly ticket for students “About”. Can this ticket take me in the whole of Stuttgart including Bissingheim-bissigen?

In reply to Abigail. Hi Abigail, If you want to travel from zone 1 to zone 3 you need a ticket for three zones. All the best, Mel

In reply to Antonio Banchs. No they don't take pictures of you. You simply have to hand in an existing picture of yourself.

I would like to purchase the annual pass, but don’t know where I can get the photo made… is that something that can be done at the VVS office?

Hi John,
thank you for your message. I am not VVS, you know that, right? I am a blogger how invested some time to explain the public transport system in Stuttgart to non-German-speakers. 🙂
All the best

Ahh, lovely VVS.
I bought the 6 month student semester ticket as I live in Leinfelden, write my thesis in Hohenheim (ie the library) and work in either the Messe or Neuhausen auf Feldern.
Should be perfect, right?
Well, students get after 6pm and weekends (and feiertage) free.
So buying the 200 euro ticket (ie 33/month) gets you just day time travel.

Isn’t it wonderful that the S-bahn goes only 2 times an hour. Isn’t it even better that they charge you to take a bicycle on it.

I wonder how subsidised all the logistics and infrastructure were, so that they could afford such lovely stations, but never run trains through them.
It is literally monopoly pricing, with travel costs twice as high as Berlin. Possibly 3 times. And yet half the trains running, arguably because less people use it… but only because they cannot afford it.

Not your fault I know, but really, it’s like the car-production capital of Europe doesn’t like people using public/alternative transport, and somehow is happy to discourage it.

VVS – Drive more often, reduce the price a little, and allow people to bring bicycles on the trains (because the hills here are horrific).
You would actually see a large increase in your profits, and a decrease in your users blood pressure.

In reply to Ros. Hi there and welcome to Stuttgart :-) Unfortunately your question exceeds my knowledge of the public transport system. I suggest you go to an information center of Deutsche Bahn, for example at Hauptbahnhof, and ask there. They well definitely be able to assist you. All the best and happy traveling, yours Mel
