Transportation

Semester Ticket

The "Studikarte" is a personalized ticket for the entire railway network of the Karlsruhe Transport Authority (Karlsruher Verkehrsverbund - KVV). Upon presentation of the KIT-Card and the KVV warrant it is available at KVV service centers and at train stations.

In combination with the KVV warrant, the KIT Card can also be used as a ticket in the entire KVV network. Unlike the Studikarte, it is only valid between Monday and Friday from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and on weekends and holidays around the clock.

The KIT hydrogen buses provide a fast connection between Campus South, Campus East, and Campus North.

• Stops
  • Campus South: at Adenauer Ring/Durlacher Tor
  • Campus North: several stops between main entrance and building 605 (Leopoldshafener Allee)
  • Campus East: main entrance (Rintheimer Querallee 2)
• Current timetable

• on Engesserstraße opposite the KIT library
• at the west entrance at the end of Neuer Zirkel street

Bike Repair Stations

There are two pump and repair stations on Campuses North and South and an additional mobile bike repair service on Campus South. Employees and students can carry out minor bike repairs or have tires inflated free of charge.
