General note: You need to buy your ticket before getting on the bus or train. Buying tickets is usually only done with cash (€). When transferring from a train to a bus just show (as in walk by and hold up) the ticket you bought at the train station to the driver.
==== From Cologne Airport (CGN) ====
# Visit the web site of [http://www.vrsinfo.de/englisch/the-vrs/vrs-about-us.html VRS] which is the transport association for the region Rhein-Sieg
# As "From"-station enter "Köln/Bonn Flughafen Bf"
# As "To"-station enter "Parkstr., Leverkusen-Hitdorf"
# You will be shown multiple trips ranging from 1:00 hr to 1:20 hr
# Chose the one you prefer. All trips will include 2 transfers. The first is always at "Köln Messe/Deutz" (as this is where the trains usually change the side of the river Rhein). The second one will be from Train to Bus at either "Leverkusen-Mitte" or "Rheindorf". All trips will offer you a nice ride through Cologne so you can see the Dome ;-)
==== From Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) ====
# Visit the web site of [http://www.vrr.de/en/index.html VRR] which is the transport association for the region Rhein-Ruhr
# As "From"-station enter "Düsseldorf, Flughafen Bahnhof"
# As "To"-station enter "Leverkusen, Hitdorf, Parkstr."
# You will be shown multiple trips ranging from 0:50 hr to 1:20 hr
# Chose the one you prefer. This trip has between 1 and 3 transfers. The site will tell you that no fare calculation is possible. That is because Leverkusen is part of the VRS transport association and Düsseldorf has the VRR. However, you can buy a ticket that allows you to go from Düsseldorf to Leverkusen. The ticket is price category 3 and costs 5€.
