Trips to the Christmas market, gift shopping or Advent and Christmas visits can be easily done by bus and train. The electronic NRW tariff "eezy" is recommended this December as a particularly cheap offer with a take-away promotion. "eezy Westfalen" can also be booked at PaderSprinter.
Nationwide air fare
With the electronic NRW fare "eezy" you can travel nationwide on buses and trains without knowing the fares. The price is calculated automatically - not according to the actual route, but according to the air miles traveled between the start and destination stops. In order to attract even more passengers, "eezy Westfalen" is offering a ride-along promotion during the Advent and Christmas period this year, where two passengers can travel for the price of one person. "eezy Westfalen" can also be booked with the PaderSprinter via the timetable app.
Pay for one and get a ticket for two people
From December 6th to December 26th, 2024, every eezy user in NRW can take another person with them on 2nd class bus and train journeys free of charge. Only one person is checked in or out and the barcode is then considered a valid ticket for both. The accompanying person can get off earlier, but their free ride is only valid for the distance that the checked-in passenger also pays for, not beyond that. Children up to the age of 6 and dogs travel free of charge in NRW anyway.
A few steps to the digital ticket
To book "eezy", first download the PaderSprinter timetable app. This is available to all iOS and Android users free of charge in the relevant app stores, but is currently not smoothly supported by all versions of the operating systems.
After downloading the app, the passenger must register once to buy the ticket and enter their desired payment method (PayPal, SEPA direct debit or credit card).
The passenger then checks in immediately before boarding using the timetable app with "eezy Ticket check-in". Check-in must be completed before entering the vehicle so that a valid ticket is available for the journey.
As soon as the ticket appears as a barcode on the mobile phone, it entitles the passenger to travel on local public transport.
A QR code is then displayed on the smartphone on the way for ticket inspection. Since the digital tickets are personal and therefore not transferable, passengers should always carry a control medium (e.g. photo ID, driver's license) with them in the event of a ticket inspection. When getting off, the customer then checks out again independently in the timetable app using “eezy Ticket check-out”.
Further information on “eezy Westfalen” is available at the PaderSprinter customer center at Westernmauer 18 (Tel.: 05251-6997 222) or online at padersprinter.de. Passengers can also find further information on the PaderSprinter timetable app at https://www.padersprinter.de/app/.
