Affordable group land ticket priced at 38 euros available
In a significant move to ease the financial burden on families, a discounted country ticket is now available for those with school-aged children. This ticket, priced at 38 euros per month, offers a substantial saving compared to the standard 49 euros monthly cost of the Deutschlandticket.
The discounted ticket, valid for unlimited travel on local and regional public transport (buses, trams, regional trains), is a boon for families with multiple school-aged children, as it provides a yearly saving of 240 euros. The ticket is digital-only and is acquired through transport authority apps or smartcards (eTicket Deutschland), with payment via SEPA direct debit or credit card and monthly auto-renewal.
However, it's important to note that the specifics of this discount, such as the eligibility criteria and the proof of residence required, may vary locally. Generally, families must be residents of the specific region offering the subsidy and may need to provide proof of residence and documents verifying their children’s status.
For families receiving social benefits for their children's school trips, subsidies are available if the school is at least two kilometers away from their residence. These families may find the cost of the country ticket, even at 38 euros, still affordable for many.
It's worth mentioning that children under 6 travel free, while children aged six and above must pay the full price for the country ticket. The ticket does not specify any restrictions on weekday travel, making it a convenient option for families with school-aged children.
Compared to a regional student ticket, the country ticket offers an advantage due to its nationwide use of buses and trains. This means that families can travel across Germany with ease, providing a greater degree of flexibility for family outings and trips.
While this discounted country ticket is a step in the right direction, it's not a comprehensive, universal discount for all families nationwide. Some families may still face the financial burden of the country ticket, especially those who earn too much for such subsidies.
In conclusion, the discounted country ticket offers a significant monthly saving for families with school-aged children, especially for those who are residents of areas offering local subsidies. It's recommended that families interested in the discounted country ticket check with their local public transport authority for any family discounts or regional subsidies and their specific application process and eligibility rules.
