Saarbruecken Airport (SCN) to the city
saarVV prices the R10 by honeycomb zones rather than as an airport fare, so the fixed number is the DeutschlandTicket at 63.00 EUR a month.
- A DeutschlandTicket costs 63.00 EUR a month and is valid on the R10, which is an ordinary regional bus rather than an airport service.
- saarVV charges by Waben, its honeycomb zones, so a single fare depends on how many you cross and neither the airport nor the operator quotes an airport price.
- The R10 regional bus is the airport line, connecting Saarbruecken Hauptbahnhof and the city centre with the terminal in about 25 minutes.
- It also serves the Bliesgau towns between Blieskastel and the airport.
- It is financed by the Zweckverband Personennahverkehr Saarland and operated by Saar-Mobil, so it is a public service rather than an airport product.
- The airport is at Ensheim, east of Saarbruecken, near the French border.
- Saarbruecken Hauptbahnhof has direct TGV services to Paris, which makes the R10 more useful than a purely local bus.
What it costs
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| DeutschlandTicket, a month | 63.00 EUR |
| Single on the R10 | saarVV tariff, by number of Waben crossed |
- The R10 is a public regional bus, so the DeutschlandTicket covers it outright. At 63.00 EUR a month that is the only fixed figure available here.
- saarVV's honeycomb zones make the single fare a function of distance, and the airport sits several zones out from the Hauptbahnhof, so use the saarVV fare finder rather than assuming a flat price.
- Buy from the driver if you are riding once.
- The DeutschlandTicket does not cover the TGV from Saarbruecken to Paris, which is a separate long distance ticket.
