| Barry, I've lost track of what it is you're trying to understand. Three of us have explained what "K" means. Gunnar has also explained how Bamberg doesn't yet fit 100% into the VGN's tarif plans, and how you use a Bamberg-specific "short-haul" ticket for trips within the Bamberg city zone. You seem to already understand how you need a two-zone (or more) card to travel from Bamberg out into other zones. If you can recall how much the friendly chap at the Bahnhof gave you in return.... In 2015, Bamberg will apparently become like the other cities listed, with a "K" card to cover trips within its single zone. A big advantage here will be the ability to use 5-strip Streifenkarten (strip cards) within Bamberg like you can everywhere else in the VGN for short trips. Until then, there appears to be no 7-day card for the Bamberg zone, strangely. I assume there never was one. Your translation of "Zonenkarte" is wrong: zone card/ticket, not "map". This means, you get a second card with your 7-day card, on which is the number of the valid zone you can use and a serial number. This serial number is also copied onto your 7-day card, and the 7-day card is valid only when used with the Zonenkarte. So what is it you want to know? If you visit again before 2015 and you plan to only travel within Bamberg, I'm not sure what you should do, since there doesn't seem to be a 7-day ticket. Buy a Tagesticket every day? |
