Quando ho comprato un singolo biglietto, mi è costato € 15. Ho pensato che fosse costoso, ma dato che quello era il prezzo, l’ho accettato. Ma poi, al biglietto, ho deciso di provare ad acquistare un biglietto da 10 due volte, aspettando che il prezzo fosse più alto, ma comunque più economico di un singolo biglietto. Con mia sorpresa, il prezzo del biglietto è rimasto a 15 euro. Dopo averlo esaminato, ho capito come usarlo e quel viaggio è due strisce, il che significa che il biglietto non è per 10 viaggi, ma per 5. Ma non capisco perché costa lo stesso di un singolo biglietto, anche se ti permette di viaggiare tra le stesse stazioni più volte. Qualcuno può spiegare?

This is a Nuremberg specific question
Your single ticket was for region 10 within the VGN system. With the 10-trip ticket you need to punch as many trips as the region demands. So, for region 10 you need to punch it 10 times. That’s how you end up at the same price.
Not sure if you really need region 10. That’s what you need to figure out yourself or ask in a local sub.

Your ticket can be used for 1 to 5 trips depending on the distance you are travelling/how many zones you are travelling through. You have to stamp the correct amount of strips, but that amount isn’t always 2 per trip. It might even be 10 if it is a longer trip through 10 zones.
I’m not sure what you’re explaining overall but can say this.
A normal ticket in cologne that’s everywhere within the city proper. Or Bonn the same. I can only really give examples from this region. Then outside of that is extra zones = more money.
You punch the card to validate for each trip and just fold and get a stamp on the trip number. You will get a full 10 uses out of it. If you mean there and back, yes those are different trips and always is.
In terms of 15 euros for a trip, you likely payed for a higher number of zones ticket that covers larger distance trips. For example, a trip from the city proper to an outlying town might be 4 or 5 zones even. That price is closer to the max price.
A normal ticket should be like, 2.70 or 3, I’m not sure, they change it every year.
What you SHOULD do though, if you’re using more trips in the end. Get a Deutchland ticket. They’re 58 euro? and good for unlimited trips countrywide. Bus, tram, u-bahn, s-bahn, RB, & RE… not IC or ICE.
You likely paid way to much the first time or had a day ticket and those tripe ones are sometimes for only one trip or it looks like for only a specific duration. The problem is that almost every city has their own system. Thats why the Deutschlandticket was so revolutionary as you are basically allowed to any near-distance transportation in Germany.
You probably bought the wrong single trip ticket.
The tickets are based on distance. (Preisstufen)
The only ticket for 15€ is Stufe 10, which would also require to validate ten strips from the Streifenkarte.
So, it’s the same price for the same distance.
Kein Wunder, dass das Deutschlandticket so ein Erfolg ist.
I didn’t knew these tickets were still a thing
Some of the other explanations are not entirely correct. Make sure you use the ticket strip correctly as per VGN rules. If you mess it up it is like riding without a ticket.
The picture shows a Streifenkarte that has both invalid and upside down stamps on it. To begin with, the top of each stamp needs to align with the arrow indicating the insert direction into the stamp machine. So the stamp that is upside down is invalid. The minimum number of stripes to stamp is also 2, so both stamps at the bottom are invalid unless completed with identical stamps on another Streifenkarte. For number of stripes stamped, you have to consult the zone map or vgn website/app.
Overall this is a old and unintuitive system. Easier to have a D-ticket or use one of the apps.
