City buses, ÖPNV (regional public transport)
The "Stadtwerke Münster" and their partners complete 100,000 journeys throughout the "Münsterland transport community" on a daily basis. Around 20 city bus routes link the various districts with the inner city, while the city express, taxi bus and night buses supplement these services around the clock. Destinations within the Münsterland region are also accessible by bus.

It is even possible to have the ticket sent to you as a “mobile ticket” via your mobile phone for journeys within Münster.
Tickets can be purchased on the bus, at ticket machines and at advance ticket offices. Important: bus and rail tickets must be stamped at the ticket machines. Anyone travelling without a stamped ticket is deemed a fare-dodger and is fined 40 euros if caught.
Bus services
- City bus and city express:
The "Stadtwerke" promise "a bus every ten minutes" at many bus stops. As several bus routes use the most important traffic arteries, passengers never have to wait long for buses on weekdays. Otherwise, city buses usually run every 20 minutes, with a half-hourly service at weekends. The city express also runs on some routes at peak travel times in the morning and afternoon, but does not stop at all bus stops. All buses stop at the main railway station. Other important stops on the city and city express bus routes are the Ludgeriplatz, the Altstadt/Bült and the Aegidiimarkt. - Taxi bus:
Münster’s outlying districts are also linked by taxi buses. These travel according to a fixed timetable, but run only in the event that a telephone reservation is made half an hour before the scheduled departure. - Night bus:
Night buses run from 9 pm to after 1 am, with an all-night service at weekends. Taxi buses guarantee direct, almost door-to-door connections. - Bus services in the Münsterland region:
The entire Münsterland region is linked via regional, express and sprinter buses and the regional night bus, with services usually running every 60 or 30 minutes. - Combining buses and taxis:
First bus, then taxi: this is possible via the taxi-call service. Bus drivers can order taxis for passengers, which collect them at the bus stop and take them home. Those wishing to use this service should tell the bus driver their name and the bus stop from which they wish to be collected, when boarding the bus. - Ladies’ night taxi:
Bus drivers can order the ladies' night taxi for female passengers aged 14 years and above, who wish to travel home in the evenings by taxi after completing their bus journeys. The "Stadtwerke“ cover the costs of the taxi’s outward journey. This service is available from April to September from 8 pm and from October to March from 6 pm.
