Tickets for one-way and return journeys

Tickets for one-way and return journeys are valid for the selected route and are obtainable at PostBus sales points, ticket machines as well as from your PostBus driver. One-way tickets are valid for a single day and return tickets, according to distances, for 1 day or 10 days.

Multiple Journey Cards

Multiple Journey Cards are ideal if you often travel the same route. The cards are not personalised and can be used by others, including several people travelling together. They are available at the ticket counters or vending machines, from the drivers, and on most public transport apps.

This kind of subscription is obtainable from PostBus sales points, in some cases from your PostBus driver, and purchasable for a time span of 1 week, 1 month or a whole year.
