Fare
The unified fare system in Hamburg splits in 3 major groups, cash ticket sales (16%), season tickets (from 3 days to a year) (72%) and others like disabled passengers, combined tickets, fare evaders etc. (12%). In 2011, total ticket revenue was 652.2 million Euro. Cash tickets for one ride, a day or a 3 day pass can be bought at all railway stations, ferry slots or in all buses. There are also so-called "family tickets" (for 2 adults and 3 children) or group tickets for up to 5 adults. The HVV offers job tickets ('ProfiCard'), and semester tickets for the students of all major universities in Hamburg, both heavily discounted. The HVV also offers tickets over mobile phones.
Most tickets are not transferable to other persons.
