Our request to you:
Use the option of cashless payment in our vehicles. If this is not possible, please have the right change ready. Our drivers cannot always give back change when paying with larger bills. In such a case, you will receive a voucher for the amount of change from our driver, which you can then redeem in one of our customer centers.
