Not a long time ago the only possibility to get to Dresden was, by the means of public transport,\u00a0 to go by train.\u00a0 In many other countries in Europe you can go around much cheaper by buses.\u00a0 The reason that there are hardly bus connections between big cities in Germany is a law, that, if there is already a train connection, its not allowed to have another public transportation.\u00a0 This rule was made to protect the train from competition.<\/p>\n
So what happens is, because there is no competition, train prices are so high that ride sharing became very popular and is a common way of cheap travelling in Germany.\u00a0 But the rules are about to change, at least thats what the new federal government promised.
\nFor some reasons in the last years more and more bus connections came up.\u00a0 One reason is that some of the bus companies are owned by Deutsche Bahn, the German railway company, so they wouldn’t sue against themselves.<\/p>\n
So today you can travel to Dresden by bus from almost all directions, but its sometimes not very frequent or they go at uncomfortable times.\u00a0 Here is a list of bus connections to and from Dresden:<\/p>\n
