The Sylt Transport Company (SVG) buses depart from Westerland and travel to all the island's towns. Special facilities at the rear of the buses also allow for the transport of bicycles. Within Westerland, there are two city bus routes with numerous boarding points.
Overview of all bus connections
From June 1, 2026, payment on SVG buses will be exclusively cashless. Accepted payment methods on the bus include Girocard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and common credit cards such as Mastercard and Visa. Passengers can also continue to purchase their tickets digitally before boarding, for example via the SyltGO! app or the DB Navigator app.
Passengers who wish to continue paying in cash can do so at central ticket offices before boarding. Cash will continue to be accepted at the ticket counters in Westerland at the central bus station (ZOB), in the pavilion in front of the train station, and at the pavilions at the harbors in List and Hörnum. Single and season tickets, as well as rechargeable prepaid cards, can be purchased there and paid for with cash. These prepaid cards can then be conveniently used on the bus.
Our tip: The Deutschlandticket is also valid on Sylt buses!
Passengers of the Sylt transport company can purchase tickets for the Sylt island buses via the SyltGO! app and save 10% on online tickets. The Deutschlandticket (Germany Ticket) can also be purchased via the app. This allows guests and island residents to purchase tickets contactlessly and entirely via mobile devices. Payment can be made via PayPal, credit card, or SEPA direct debit.
Was the tour to List, Morsum or Hörnum windier and more strenuous than expected?
Then treat yourself to a relaxing return trip by bus! All buses on Sylt are equipped with bike racks for up to five bikes. Please note: E-bikes with batteries attached to the frame cannot be transported if the frame is wider than 7 cm at the mounting point.
Here's how it works: Just give the bus driver a quick heads-up, place your bike on the bike rack, and secure it with the provided clamps. Then hop on board and buy your ticket—and you're ready to head back!
Take the bus to Hörnum and at the same time check the departure times of the Adler ships or browse the latest Sylt pictures on Instagram?
It's child's play on the Sylter Verkehrsgesellschaft (SVG) buses! All buses on Sylt offer free Wi-Fi. The bus's own router provides passengers with an LTE connection, subject to availability. You can find the access data in several places on the bus. Before you get started, all you have to do is accept the standard liability for interference – and then nothing stands in the way of your mobile surfing pleasure!
