Visitors who first arrived in Hamburg, and even in Germany, were puzzled by the various capital letters on the German traffic map. They only enjoy the tour of Hamburg by fully understanding of its transportation network.

On the German traffic map, there are usually some letters, like S, U, A. U refers to the subway (U-Bahn), S refers to the city's elevated express train (S-Bahn), A refers to the suburban express train (AKN-Anschlussbahn), and R refers to the regional train (Regionalbahn).

Bus and train

DB and HVV offer approximately 700 express rails, regional rails, bus and ship lines that you can easily and conveniently reach across Hamburg. Do you know the HVV app? In addition to checking the site and arrival time, you can also purchase discounted tickets on your mobile phone through this app. Tip: You can bring your bicycle to the city rail and subway for free, but bicycles are not allowed to be brought from 6 am to 9 am and from 16:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Friday - except weekends and holidays.

Sharing is a new kind of owning

An average of 23 hours a day remains the status of standstill. Spend so much money, and then usually just parked in the parking lot and wasted space that could be used for other purposes. However, of course, it is very convenient to have a car when needed. Sharing Car is a good solution here. Its working principle is simple that many people share several cars and are centrally managed by the central control room. Different models can be used in different locations and can be booked by phone, internet or application all time. Users no longer have to worry about cleaning, maintenance, repair, insurance, and other annoying things.

More than 900 cars from the car rental sharing provider car2go can be used anywhere in city for independent and flexible leasing.
