A tip from STOAG: “You can save real money with the KirmesTicket, which is available for 7 euros in all STOAG customer centers and in all STOAG advance booking offices and from Wednesday for 8,50 euros on STOAG buses. Because the price not only includes the return trip by public transport within Oberhausen, but also a bag of popcorn, a free ride on a large ride and a voucher for a drink, an ice cream, a bratwurst or a ride on a children's carousel.
