To plan trips by public transport you can download the app “Mainzer Mobilität”. You can also purchase day tickets for public transport through the app. However, we recommend you get a “Wochenkarte” (weekly ticket) which you can use for local public transport all week. These tickets can be bought at ticket machines at bus stops or at the DB center at the central station.
