Public Transport planner for Hanover (Hannover)?
I'm off to Hanover soon (Hannover in German, that one confused me a bit...), and I need to work out how to get from the airport to my hotel, hotel to the city etc. The hotel's website has some information on that, which referenced trams, but now I want to look up the timings and changes.
My usual first port of a call for public transport information in a foreign city is Google Maps. That seems to know about the local trains (S-Bahn), but not about any buses or trams. So, it appears Google doesn't yet know about all the public transport for the area.
As this is Germany, I'm sure there's an amazing trip planner out there for Hanover, which'll do bus/tram/train/walk/etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction of such a planner? (Ideally one has an English option, but that's not vital)
Best Answer
The Deutsche Bahn travel planner covers local (tram & bus) transit in most German cities as well, although it will not display the price.
Otherwise, googling "(city name) Verkehrsbetriebe" will usually lead to the main provider of public transport, the larger of which will have a form for trip planning, as is the case for Hannover.
Look for the word "Karte" for a system map if no English option catches your eye.
