Directory of Destinations
All stations and stops in the destination directory are listed in alphabetical order. You can determine
your destination's 3-digit code with one look at the directory. The code enables the vending machine to
calculate the number of zones for your ride and the ticket cost. Exception: All rides to the third stop
from your origin without transfers or interruption of the ride are considered short-distance rides. Not
applicable to S-Bahn and regional trains (DB, WEG).
Dialog Window
The dialog window is used to ask you for your preferences, and to instruct you step by step in purchasing your ticket. Once you
have selected the desired ticket, you will be prompted to pay. The dialog window will provide not only the usual connections to
your destination, but also other options, if available, which can be selected using the ten digit keys.
Keys for Selecting Ticket
The ticket selection keys are used to decide which type of ticket you wish to purchase. The tickets and tokens listed are available
for either adults or children. Please note the instructions provided via the dialog window. The orange-colored key for KombiTickets is
located here as well.
Ten Digit Keys
The ten digit keys allow you to enter your 3-digit destination code. If you already know how many zones you need for your ride,
you may also enter the number of zones directly. Please make sure that you enter two zeros, followed by the number of zones
(e.g., 002 for two zones).
Plus Key
If you are purchasing more than one ticket, simply press the Plus key after selecting the first ticket.
Cancel Key
The "C" key allows you to cancel all previous entries and to start over.
Coin Slot
The coin slot accepts coins in denominations from 5 Cents to 2 Euro.
Electronic Payment Slot
You can pay electronically for any ticket by using a smart card. SSB ticket vending machines accept credit and EC cards, as well.
Insert your VVS pass here if you are purchasing weekly or monthly tokens.
Bill Acceptor
Ticket machines accept 5, 10, 20, and in some cased 50 Euro bills (depending on the amount owed), which are inserted into the bill acceptor.
Bill Return
If you have inserted a bill by mistake, it will be returned via the bill return slot (below the bill acceptor at the bottom right).
Vending Compartment
Change is always returned in coins in the vending compartment. Your ticket will also be issued into the vending compartment, along with
any change. If the vending machine has no more coins to make change, it will ask for exact change via the dialog window. If you have inserted
a bill by mistake, it will be returned via the bill return slot (below the bill acceptor).
