Public transportation
Augsburg has a small but efficient transportation system with four main streetcar (German: Straßenbahn) lines and several buslines which cover the whole urban and suburban areas. These lines run Monday through Sunday from around 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday evenings, a night bus runs from midnight to 3 a.m., making limited stops along all Augsburg stations.
If you purchase a Bayern-Ticket (Bavaria Ticket), you will be covered during your stay in Augsburg and will not be required to purchase additional tickets for using the Augsburg transportation system. However, if you did not purchase a Bayern-Ticket then you must purchase a ticket (€1) and stamp it each time you enter a streetcar or bus. Riding without a ticket (German: schwarzfahren, "black driving") will get you a €40 fee and a visit with the police.
You can also buy a 24 h ticket, a single ticket, or a family ticket.
The Bayern Ticket is only valid after 9AM to the airport from Augsburg Hbf if you are traveling to the airport. Also, if traveling from Munich Airport to Augsburg, it may be possible to use a Bayern-Ticket Nacht (Bavaria Night Ticket), is
valid Monday to Thursday from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next day, Monday and Friday, from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m if you book online for €20, at the ticket machine or at the Reisezentrum (Travel Centre) for €22.
Bike rental
Since Augsburg's topography is not that easy to get, but actually everything is quite near together, it is a great idea to explore this little city by bike. That way you'll have a little more time to get lost and then find out where you are again, instead of waiting for buses or walking around.
Also, a bike can be used for a little trip into Augsburg's Siebentischwald, a big forest and recreational area with many trails going through it, which reaches almost into the inner parts of the city. Augsburg's Zoo is also located on the edge of Siebentischwald, and thus can be visited easily by bike.
Bikes can be rented on several bus stations from the "Stadtwerke", and at some bike stores in Augsburg: Zweirad Bäuml, Jakoberstr. 70, Augsburg; UNI - RAD, Salomon-Idler-Str. 26, 86159 Augsburg; GEPE Sportgeräteverleih UG, Reisingerstr. 27, 86159 Augsburg
