On the SB60, a single or 24-hour ticket between Bonn and the airport is level 2 — EUR 5.50 an adult, EUR 2.50 a child — plus a EUR 5.00 (adult) or EUR 2.50 (child) surcharge, per person, per ride, payable even by a child riding free on another ticket. So EUR 10.50 an adult, EUR 5.00 a child; five on the level-2 24hTicket 5 Personen (EUR 26.40) pay EUR 51.40, though four singles at EUR 42.00 still beat four surcharges (EUR 46.40). Deutschlandticket holders and eezy.nrw check-in fares pay no surcharge, per SWB.

Worth knowing
From Terminal 1, stand 5: Monday to Friday every 30 minutes, 05:30 to 23:30, then 00:30. Saturday every 30 minutes to 17:30, then hourly 18:30 to 23:30 and 00:30. Sunday and holidays hourly 05:30 to 13:30, then every 30 minutes, 14:00 to 23:30, and 00:30. Nothing between 00:30 and 05:30. Terminal 2 is served three minutes later.
Buy or validate the surcharge ticket before you board. The VRS app sells both; the bus's cashless machine behind the driver sells the airport ticket with surcharge included, or the surcharge alone — card, phone or watch, no cash. In Bonn, street machines sell a combined "SB60" ticket at the same price.
The train costs more: EUR 13.90, and needs a change — the S19 to "Siegburg/Bonn" (in Siegburg) and the 66 tram, or the S19/RE6 to Köln Hbf and a train back down. The RB26 trips reaching Bonn Hbf via Cologne in 47 minutes are empty turnarounds, not a service you can board.
Five or more of you: the level-2 24hTicket 5 Personen at EUR 26.40 plus five surcharges is EUR 51.40, against EUR 52.50 in singles. Four are better off with four singles at EUR 42.00.
Last bus 00:30, first 05:30, every night. Between them the only way to Bonn is a taxi on Cologne's meter, whose compulsory area includes Bonn.
Since 9 February 2026, while the Friedrich-Ebert-Brücke (Nordbrücke) is closed to vehicles over 7.5 tonnes, the bus is diverted and skips Mozartstraße, Frankenbad/Kunstverein, Innenministerium and Beethovenhalle/SWB.
Konrad-Adenauer-Platz is on the Beuel side of the Rhine, not in the city center; the center stops are Brüdergasse and Markt.
