Fare categories – how it works
The AVV network fare depends upon the city and district limits in the network area. The rule is: One city or district – one price. There are four overall fare categories which are calculated depending on the distance from your departure area – the city or district where you start your journey. If you are making short journeys, the cheapest travel within a short-journey zone is with Einzel- or 4Fahrten-Tickets.
TIP: Are you looking for the fare category for your connection? Our fare category calculator is here to help you.
Fare categories
Here we demonstrate the fare category system taking Düren as an example. Düren is the departure area where you start your journey by rail or bus.
Short journey K applies for single journeys (Einzelfahrt) within a short-journey zone. Example: Journeys within short journey zone K 75.
Fare category 1 applies to any journey within gone city or district. TOP: 
Fare category 1 also applies for Einzel-Tickets and 4Fahrten-Tickets between two bordering short-journey zones in neighbouring cities and districts. Example: Journeys within the Düren city limits and journeys between the short-journey zones K 75 (Düren) and K 90 (Kreuzau).
Fare category 2 applies to journeys between your departure area and one neighbouring city or district. Example: A journey between Düren city and the Langerwehe district.
Fare category 3 applies to journeys between your departure area and a distant destination area. Example: A journey between Düren and Jülich.
Fare category 4 applies to the entire area served by the AVV (Aachen city and Aachen district, Düren, Heinsberg district).
Fare category 1
