A present for Santa Claus: With a red coat, hat, beard and sack, Santa and Mrs. Claus travel for free on buses and trains in the Dresden area on Christmas Eve.

Instead of taking the sleigh, take the bus or train: Santa Claus travels free of charge in the Dresden area on Christmas Eve. According to the Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (VVO), Santa and Mrs. Claus do not have to buy a ticket for the train, S-Bahn, streetcar, bus and ferry on 24 December from 2 pm to 10 pm.

The Christmas ticket is a red coat, a hat, a beard and a gift bag, according to the VVO. Anyone wearing these four items will travel for free on Christmas Eve. This way, "all presents should be under the Christmas tree on time", the VVO announced.
