NightLiner N12orBus 30 to Erlangen?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The NightLiner N12 reaches Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof and the old town; the Bus 30 to Erlangen does not. Goes to Erlangen, a separate city, not to central Nuremberg.

The NightLiner N12 is quicker: 26 min against 32 min. The Bus 30 to Erlangen varies between 31 and 32 minutes.

NightLiner N12: 01:28–04:28, Friday and Saturday nights, and nights before public holidays. Bus 30 to Erlangen: 04:47–00:38.
