You can buy a ticket for the trip in the vending machine at almost every stop. Tickets are disposable; you can buy one for a week and even for a month, which allows you to save considerably.

Economy roadmap of Germany
One of the main economic problems of Germany is an insufficiently flexible labor market. Besides that, Germans do not work enough. On average, a citizen officially works out only 1 449 hours a year. This figure is significantly lower than in the entire EU area. Trade unions in the country are well-developed, which also shows a negative impact on the overall economy. Due to the excessive bureaucratic pressure, the country's economy loses not less than 52 billion euros a year. The eastern lands of Germany make a significant gap in the overall economy.

An important problem for the country remains an increase in the average age of life and a decrease in the birth rate.
