The Free State of Bavaria will subsidise 20 euros of the ticket price for vocational trainees, university students and people doing voluntary service, so that these target groups will be able to buy the ticket for 29 euros. Like every Deutschlandticket, the ticket is issued as a digital subscription and can be cancelled every month.
For trainees and volunteers, the ticket is valid from 1 September; students can use it from the calendar start of the winter semester, i.e. from 1 October. Anyone who has already paid for a regional semester bus pass with their semester contribution should be able to have this counted towards the 29 euros.
The Student Services Association (Studentenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz) is currently in talks with the Passau transport companies to determine the ordering process and how the price is offset with the Passau semester bus pass. We will inform you here when new information comes to light.
