Train ticket prices around Düsseldorf

Hello,
Next week i am traveling to Monchengladbach and I have to commute from Düsseldorf HBF to Monchengladbach HBF.
I have noticed Germans have various ticket prices.

Preisstufe
>> Preisstufe A EUR 5,00

>> Preisstufe B EUR 9,70
>> Preisstufe C EUR 21,20

Which one should I buy ? (I want to buy online a "tagesticket" in advance and thats why I am asking)

Thanks form Your help
Ralph

Hi,

A quick look at the VRR website (www.vrr.de) suggests that this trip is Tariff C (which I would also expect, it's a fair distance). If you search the online timetable, it gives full details including tariff. Looks like it takes about half an hour on the S-Bahn or RE. For more general info on zones, there are quite a few leaflets on the same site, including some in English.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Matthew.

Thanks a lot for that ... I am going to book my ticket today ...

have a nice day

Hi! Will you be travelling between Düsseldorf and Mönchengladbach only once or on several days, weeks months? There are no return tickets but "4-Fahrten-Karten" (for four journeys) which are cheaper than buying four single tickets. If you want to travel for several months a Ticket 1000 might be a cheaper alternative.

Wolf, thanks for suggestion .. I am only traveling there once (It's gonna be long trip as I am driving from Poland to Düsseldorf and from Düsseldorf to Monchengladbach ) ..at least now..
I am going for my final job interview next week ... wish me luck

have a good weekend
Ralph
