  • In the regional tariff, the three tariff zones D, E and F outside are added to the three ÜSTRA tariff zones. This means you can also travel from the districts around the Hannover region to the ÜSTRA fare zone or vice versa with just one ticket. In the regional fare zones, you can travel on trains operated by railroad companies. Please note that the regional fare is only valid for season tickets. To see exactly which stop is in which zone, you can call up our ÜSTRA map.
