You cross one stop into the next town and suddenly owe a higher zone fare, or you buy a paper ticket when the app would have capped the day cheaper.

Aachener Verkehrsverbund (AVV) sets fares across Aachen and the wider region toward Belgium and the Netherlands. Local buses are mainly run by ASEAG.
