Getting around
• USAG Wiesbaden has a free shuttle service that runs between Aukamm, Crestview, Hainerberg, Clay Kaserne and Mainz Kastel. • To view city bus routes and buy tickets, go to rmv.de. A one-way adult bus ticket within the area runs €2.80, but riders can save money if going only a few stops or buying a round-trip ticket or group ticket. Buy bus tickets online, using the RMV app, at kiosks at some bus stops or directly from bus drivers. • One authorized taxi company currently services U.S. Army installations in Wiesbaden. They can be reached at 0611-444-444. Learn more about getting around the area at www.wiesbaden.army.mil/transportation.
