FERRY BETWEEN KONSTANZ & MEERSBURG
 
I am searching for info on the car ferry between Konstanz & Meersburg. I found the site: http://stadtwerke.konstanz.de/mobili...aktuelles.html but I can't read German.
I'd like to know the cost of transporting a car & 3 passengers and the time it takes to cross. I think it runs late into the evening but if it doesn’t please set me straight.
Thanks

Cost for an individual passenger is E2.60 single or E4.70 return.

For a vehicle up to 3m in length (I am making certain assumptions here) it's E7.30 or E14.60 return (check out the table with PKW, Motorraeder, etc: http://stadtwerke.konstanz.de/mobili...fahrzeuge.html for other vehicle lengths; 3,000m = 3m; lengths up to 6m listed).

If you are 3 adults I don't think there's a ticket for you as a combination, but the cost of the car includes the driver.

The journey lasts 15 minutes. It runs throughout the night (even after midnight) but the frequency is reduced: http://stadtwerke.konstanz.de/mobili.../fahrplan.html . Konstanz ab = from Konstanz, Meersburg ab = from Meersburg.

lavandula got it 100% correct.
And you probably guessed already that Montag bis Freitag means mondays thru fridays, and Samstag, Sonntag und Feiertage means saturdays, sundays and public holidays.

Thanks Cowboy, I should have given a bit more vocab to be able to understand the tables. :)

Hi Mimm,

>I can't read German. <

I use www.imtranslator.com

Hi - this is great. Ira: Thanks for the translation site - it's better than others I have tried to use.

Lava: So as I now understand it for one-way tickets the car & driver is 7.30€ and the 2 passengers are 2.60€ each (assuming a standard size car). I did get the days of the week but thanks for being thorough.

Yes, that's right :)
