Overview
- VMS and VVO, which implement new prices Wednesday, April 1, lift average VMS fares 2.4% to €3.30 for a single-zone ride while most passes stay flat.
- In Dresden under VVO, a single ticket rises by €0.20 and the four-ride card increases by €0.80 to €13, with a new Fairtiq app short-trip ticket priced at €8.40.
- VMS says higher staff costs of about 3.5% and material costs of 2.8% drove the changes in coordination with other Saxony networks.
- VVO will remove paper-ticket validators in stages while keeping paper tickets that print their validity at purchase and shifting the four-ride card to digital-only.
- Tickets bought at old prices remain valid until April 30 for single and day passes, with four-ride stubs accepted through June 30.
