Public Transport

[avmrock25]

Hi, I'm coming for the first time this year but don't want to stay in camping, I found a place near Gostenhof station but didn't find information about public transport and from searching in google maps I saw it might be difficult to get back late at night after concerts are over so I would like to know how is the public transport at night, is it work all night or are there any special buses? and if not how difficult is to catch taxi and how much it should cost?
thank you

There is a night bus to central station, don't know how long but until the last concert ends. The last three years I stayed at a hotel nearby central station and had never wait longer than 5-10 minutes for the next bus. Maybe it is easier to catch a taxi at central station.

Hi,
you can use this planner from the local public transport:
Journey Planner
If you plan on leaving until 1am you can take the tram at Doku-Zentrum station or commuter railway at Dutzendteich. Afterwards there will be night buses (excluding Sunday) departing from Bayernstr or Dutzendteich. At Doku-Zentrum you will also find taxis which would cost you around 15-20 Euros.

I went from stop "Nürnberg Zeppelinstraße", I never looked at the number, just followed the other people!

Oh and another thing I understand there are day tickets for public transport and if I buy for Saturday it also fine for Sunday but until when it consider one day? if I get back after midnight do I need to get the next day day ticket?

Closing hour
day tickets or weekend tickets until 3 a.m
So, no, unitl 3 a.m you'll need not a new ticket.

someone who's been at the festival 6 times (but last one was in 2015) told me that with festival bracelet public transport is free and that she never pay for train back to center, is this still happening or do you know something about it? because when I asked VGN they told me there is no any arrangement with RIP.. tnx

 

[indiscernible]

Yes, there is no arrangement with the VGN (anymore). You have to pay for public transport seperatly.
