YOUR BENEFITS WITH BOB
- “Best Price on the Day”: On a daily basis, BOB calculates the cheapest price for all the normal journeys undertaken, using 4x SingleTicket, DayTicket, 10x Pupils' Tickets BSAG and BREMERHAVEN BUS, SingleTicket Child, Bicycle DayTicket or ShortTripTicket. Example: Automatic invoicing of a regular SingleTicket as a reduced 4x SingleTicket et cetera.
