YOUR CAMPUS Ways in Regensburg
Ways to the university
Too many ways lead to Rome – and not only to Rome, but also to the university. If on foot,
with the bicycle, bus or car, everything has its pros and cons waiting to be tested.
by foot By foot it is often faster, especially to the historic centre, with a little bit of knowledge
of the place you can save time - compared to other means of transportation - if you
walk through the multitudinous alleyways and backyards. Moreover, the routes in Regensburg
are not as long as they seem: if you have to wait at Uni-Mensa ten minutes for
the bus, you can also go by foot and arrive at the same time like the bus at the central
station. If you take the ”Schleichweg” behind the canteen to Street Bischof-Konrad, you
can save time as well.
by bicylce With your bicycle, it is the fastest way to get from
A to B in Regensburg. Straight over the danube it is much easier
with the bicycle because you can go over both the ”Steinerne
Brücke” and the ”Eiserner Steg”. Other means of transport
cannot use those to bridges. So, you save half of the time
in comparison to for example bus and car. Additionally, you are
more flexible with your bike because you are not dependent of
some time tables.
To the university, you can take Universitätsstraße (drawn out
comfortable raising) or Galgenbergstraße (short raising, which
flattens on the way to the university) and on which you can
outrun the bus with a smile.
At the end, one can say that the bicycle is the best of all alternative solutions – but you
have to be weather proof and your bicycle has to be burglar-proof. The respect of foreign
bikes is rather notorious than famous.
by bus As long as you do not try to come just fast to your lecture, the RVV is a good
option. If you come of the closely city circle, you mostly do not have to change busses if
you want to go to the university. And by the way, the time tables are good organised in
time of lectures. But if you want to go home after midnight on weekdays after partying
you have to take the taxi or the bicycle or go on foot. From Friday to Saturday and to
Sunday the ”Nachtschwärmer” busses are available after midnight.
Bus transport is chosen mostly which causes nerve-wracking capacity overload. If you
want to arrive at the university on time, you should choose one bus earlier because the
busses are completly overloaded in the morning, causing longer ride times.
