Children under 6 — free

Good to know

The LPP price list is valid from 1 Sep 2026. The zone is set by where you board; a trip within one zone (1, 2 or 3) is charged as one zone.
Luggage, prams, dogs and other small animals travel free.
IJPP (integrated public passenger transport) is the national single-ticket system: one card works on city buses, intercity buses and trains, and carries subsidised tickets for pupils and students and free tickets for pensioners.
