City of Bonn

By bike on the bus, train or ferry

Whether as a commuter or in your free time: it is not always possible to cycle the whole way. Here you can read which means of transport you can take your bike on and what you need to bear in mind.

Would you like to shorten the route or transport your bike quickly to another location? Then use public transport and Rhine ferries.

Buses and trains

In general, you can take a bicycle with you on local trains all day, every day of the week. The same applies to all city trains, streetcars and bus lines within the VRS area. However, bicycles do not have the right to be carried; they can only be taken along if there is sufficient space in the vehicle. In case of doubt, the driver will decide. Baby carriages and people in wheelchairs have priority at all times.

By bike on buses and trains in the city and region

No matter where you want to go in Bonn or how far you want to travel in the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (VRS), you will need a ticket for bicycle transport in addition to your ticket.

You can purchase a  FahrradTagesTicket NRW for (opens in a new tab) additional tours. This allows you to take your bicycle with you not only within the VRS area, but also throughout NRW.

In the   Rhine-Moselle Transport Association (VRM (opens in a new tab) ), you can take your bike with you free of charge from 9 a.m. on weekdays; before 9 a.m., you must purchase a corresponding ticket for the bike. At weekends and on public holidays, there are no time restrictions on free transportation.

E-bikes in buses

E-bikes and pedelecs can also be taken on buses and trains. The transport guidelines also permit the transportation of tandems on trains. Customers with a disabled person's pass can also take them on buses, city trains and subway trains.

Ferries

You can use all three Bonn ferries by bike. You can find more information  here here.
