After years of having (among) the most expensive semester ticket in Germany, we successfully fought for the 29€ ticket through our efforts. Thanks to all helping hands!
If you last bought the Deutschlandticket directly, you have to cancel it (always by the 10th of the previous month), there is no automatic changeover.
The most important facts in a nutshell:
- 29€ / month
- pay monthly and can be cancelled monthly
- cannot be booked for the current month after the 25th.
- is not available immediately after the purchase due to longer processing time
- travel on local public transport throughout Germany
- 600 free minutes of VAG-Rad per month
- Is only valid in combination with an identification document
Disadvantages:
- No more basic card
- No more bicycle transport included
Our further demands:
- Price stability of the 29€ ticket for at least two years
- 29€ ticket also as a chip card by the summer semester at the latest
- a good offer for a basic ticket from the summer semester onwards
- Resumption of bicycle transport
- The introduction of a constituted student body so that we can also conclude contracts ourselves in Bavaria
