The Fotobus is an independent project serving all students of photography.
The Bus
The Fotobus is a cultural and social offer for all students of photography, design, film, art and media. The Fotobus—a medium-sized coach with 32 seats—offers excursions and research trips to regional, national and international destinations. The trips by photobus are free of charge for the participating students. Expenses such as fuel, tolls, repairs, maintenance, insurance, taxes etc. are borne by the Fotobus Society.
