Trains

You can use your Semesterticket to ride the trains within NRW for free. The Semesterticket is not, however, valid on high-speed trains (IC and ICE). There are several good deals enabling you to save up to 50% of the ticket price. Students under 27 can buy a Bahncard 50 (50% discount on all fares) for €118 instead of €230.

Buses

With your Semesterticket you can take all the buses within NRW for free. You will, however, be charged a small fee for night buses or for transporting your bike on the bus. The buses always stop at the central train station so that you have connections to other bus routes and to the trains.

Bicycles

Münster residents typically use their bicycles to get around – it is not without reason that Münster has been named the bicycle capital of Germany so often.

The Promenade, a green ring road which circles Münster, is also called the bicycle highway. A wide range of bike paths, bike streets, and so-called "wrong one-way streets" – which allow cyclists to ride in the opposite direction of cars – enable Münster residents to get almost anywhere by bike without any difficulty. It is recommended that you purchase a bike upon arriving in Münster.

Because of the many bikes in Münster, traffic rules and safety regulations are strictly enforced. Some students will have to adjust to the fact that they may be stopped by police on their bikes and possibly be required to pay a fine. If you bring a bike, or buy or rent one in Münster, please ensure that your lights and brakes are always in good working order.

It makes sense to rent a bike at the Radstation ("Bicycle Station") situated in front of Münster's central railway station in the city. The Radstation is a parking lot for bikes and also offers many bike services. The cost for a daily bike rental is € 7,50. The Radstation also sells used and new bikes and offers a reasonably priced repair service. In addition, you can park your bike here safely if you leave town for a few days.
