The Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (VVO) tariff system divides the Dresden region into zones for public transport pricing. The VVO Kompakt guide explains how fares depend on the number of zones travelled, not distance. Central Dresden lies mainly within Zone 10, with surrounding areas assigned additional zones. Tickets must cover all zones from departure to destination. Options include single tickets, day passes, and season tickets valid across buses, trams, and trains. The guide simplifies planning journeys, ensuring passengers choose correct tickets and avoid penalties while travelling efficiently throughout the VVO network.
