Mostly, there are one-way tickets, but you can book a round trip ticket, as you know your time framework. Depending on travel distance and provinces, prices are different. It would help if you saw the prices on the exact bus routes. There is always a fixed price for the tickets.
How to buy tickets
All the buses require an advance seat reservation. You can make a reservation bus ticket online. Since Aug 2019, the Website has an English menu, but online payment is only available with internet banking.
It is recommended to make a reservation early for popular routes during the busy travel season. However, if the bus ticket is not sold out, it is usually possible to buy a ticket just before departure at the bus terminal.
Boarding

Provincial buses typically equipped with seats that arranged in rows of four-seat and two aisles. On some buses with four standard seats per row are in everyday use.
Buses come with no toilet but make regular toilet stops along the way. Smoking and drinking are generally not permitted on the buses.

Hello Rudolf,
The public buses leave for Ulgii at 10:00 and 13:00 every day from the Dragon bus station and the same schedule works for Ulgii to UB buses (from aimag transport station in Ulgii). You can go and buy tickets (with a return ticket) from the Dragon bus terminal. We will advise you to buy tickets a few days prior. The one-way ticket is 130,000 MNT per adult.
Hope this helps. Any questions, please write us.

For the bicycles, we think you should talk to the bus driver and pay for it. Bus takes around 28 hours from Ulaanbaatar to Ulgii. So Just take the most convinient one for you. Hope this helps
