Important Dates and Developments 2025/26

• Annual timetable change in December: In mid-December, the timetable is adjusted across Europe. Check shortly before your event whether departure times, connections, or routes have changed.
• Special services for major events: In case of expected crowds (e.g. city festivals, sports games, open-air evenings), additional trips or diversions will be announced in advance.
• Digital passenger information: Real-time data, short-term construction sites, and additional trips are first published in the official apps and on the websites.

How to Plan Your Public Transport Arrival for Future Events

1–2 Weeks Before: Get an Overview

• Search for the event location in the timetable information and save the nearest stops as favorites (e.g. Altstadt, Ländtorplatz, main station).
• Compare several arrival options (direct line vs. 1× transfer) so you remain flexible in case of high demand.

2–3 Days Before: Check the Details

• Check whether special timetables, additional trips, or changed stops have been announced for your event day.
• Note the last return time for the appropriate line from the city center or event location.

On the Day of the Event: Use Real-Time

• Update the connection in the app 15–20 minutes before departure to detect delays or platform/stop changes.
• For highly demanded events, plan an earlier return trip as a backup.

Evening and Additional Services for Late Journeys Home

For late event endings, targeted service increases and additional trips are usually announced for the 2025/26 season. Here’s what to do:

• Line selection: Search in the app for departures from the end of the event ±30 minutes. Pay attention to additional course numbers or notes "additional trip".
• Alternative routes: Check a second connection via the main station or a central hub if the direct line is crowded.
• Groups: If you are traveling in a group, split up into two consecutive departures if necessary to get away faster.

Tickets for Event Visits 2025/26

For future events in Landshut, different tickets are worthwhile depending on your daily plan. Check the area of validity and time validity in the app or with the provider in advance.

Day and Group Tickets

• Day tickets: Useful if you combine several trips on the same day (arrival, change of location, return trip).
• Group/partner tickets: Often worthwhile from two adults or families – check the applicable rules for accompanying persons and age limits.

Season Tickets for Frequent Users

• Weekly/monthly tickets: If you regularly have cultural or sports appointments in the city, season tickets offer predictable costs and often the possibility to bring someone along on weekends/holidays (depending on fare rules).

Arrival from the Region by Train

• Bayern-Ticket: For day trips with regional trains and selected partners. Ideal if you are coming from the surrounding area and planning several trips in the city and region. Check local recognition for connecting trips within the city area in advance.
• DB City-Ticket: The City-Ticket is only valid in participating cities and under certain ticket conditions. Whether it applies to your connection and Landshut is shown by the DB Navigator during booking.

Important: Bahn discount cards (e.g. BahnCard) are generally not automatically valid in the city transport association fare. Check the conditions in the app in advance.

Cleverly Combine Bus, Train, and Bicycle

• Bike+Rail: For 2026, different rules for taking bicycles on regional trains apply depending on the line and time of day. Allow for a buffer and check the occupancy forecast in the app.
• Park+Ride or Bike+Bus: Combine the first/last mile with a bicycle or a park+ride location outside the city center to shorten waiting times after the event.
• Barrier-free to the event: Check the barrier-free availability of stops and elevators for your appointment in the information.

Safe and Relaxed Journey Home

• Set a meeting point: Agree in advance on a stop in the direction of your way home to quickly bring groups together after the event.
• Plan B: Keep a second line or an alternative hub (e.g. main station) as a backup route.
• Time buffer: Leave the location a few minutes earlier if the last suitable departure is in high demand.
