Is ok to transit from inside train/rail station without any special entrance ticket?
In India, we need to purchase platform ticket if transiting from inside train station. Or even if we are standing inside the station to see off family/friends etc, need to buy platform ticket.
It's fine to go through the underpass under the platforms without a ticket. Those areas are marked by a sign "Zugang nur mit gültiger Fahrkarte" and there will be a machine where you can get a multiple use ticket stamped to validate it nearby, but there are no physical barriers or turnstiles as you would find in eg the London Underground. You should therefore have a travel ticket if you go onto the platforms themselves but there are no barriers. Platform tickets are history here in Nuremberg and in most German railway stations - according to the wikipedia page on the subject only Munich and Hamburg still sell them, but I can't recall ever needing one in Munich: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnsteigsperre Will -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner@opensuse.org
