Timetables and how current they are
Timetables on Rügen change with the season. In high season buses run more frequently, in the low season noticeably less often; some connections are dropped entirely in winter.
The Bäderbahn runs all year, but on a timetable that differs by season: in winter the low season applies with noticeably fewer trains. Check the current times with the operator before a planned journey.
This page therefore gives no specific departure times. The binding timetables are available from the transport association, Deutsche Bahn and the Rügensche Bäderbahn.
