How to get your Flex25 or Flex35 in three steps:
1. log in to the VRR app, search for your journey in the information centre and select your desired connection
2. select your discounted Flex single ticket in the desired variant directly when purchasing your ticket
3. if you are logged in, the app automatically recognises whether you already have a Flex25 or Flex35. If this is not the case, the corresponding FlexTicket will be added directly to your shopping basket. You can then check the basic amount and your first single ticket in the shopping basket and pay conveniently together.

Travelling in the VRR
When travelling with your Aboticket, a key feature is your price level. The price level defines the area of validity of your ticket within the VRR area and is divided into the short-distance, A (A1, A2, A3), B, C and D price levels.
Price level A is generally valid for journeys within a city, whereby the size of the city and the services on offer determine whether you need price level A1, A2 or A3.
In price level B, you select a central fare zone from which you can then also travel to at least the directly neighbouring fare zones. Please note that the central fare zone does not have to be the fare zone in which you live.
With price level C, you cover the medium travel distances. You can choose between 19 different regions in the network area.
With tickets in price level D, you can travel throughout the entire network area.
