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.

Famous quotes containing the word fare:
“No one can fare well for a thousand days, as no flower stays red for a hundred.”
—Chinese proverb.
“who should moor at his edge
And fare on afoot would find gates of no gardens,
But the hill of dark underfoot diving,
Closing overhead, the cold deep, and drowning.
He is called Leviathan, and named for rolling,”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)
“Then to the elements
Be free, and fare thou well!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
