Summer vacation: Braunschweig students are not allowed to use D-Ticket!
The summer vacation in Lower Saxony is just around the corner and thus also some changes for students in Braunschweig. As news38 , students cannot use the Germany ticket (D-Ticket) during the holidays. The tickets are blocked electronically during the summer vacation, which means that the note is "invalid" when controlling. This regulation even applies on the last two school days, July 1st and 2nd.
But don't worry! There are exceptions: school trips in the Braunschweig Region (VRB) and neighboring cities as well as counties are not affected by the closure. In order to be prepared for the coming school year, students who do not yet have a D-Ticket must apply for this for the school year 2024/2025. However, existing tickets will be reactivated at the start of the school year if there is a claim to school transport. It is important to keep the chip cards because the use must be proven.
alternatives and offers for students
There is an inexpensive alternative for the summer vacation: students can buy a U21 leisure card or a U21 summer ferie card for only 23.70 euros, which is valid during the 6 weeks of the summer vacation in VRB. This enables young people to stay mobile even during the holidays and to take excursions.
In addition to the summer vacation regulation, it is good to know that pupils who use public line traffic to school are entitled to the collective time of the school. The application for the card can be made via a new application portal, whereby non-digital is also available: A PDF document can be downloaded if there are difficult problems with the online application, such as the city of Braunschweig Braunschweig.de explained.Important information on student transportation
The collective school time cards (SSZK) will be issued at schools in the first week after the school holidays. In the event of loss or damage to the card, a message by email is required, and costs of 30 euros are incurred for a replacement card. A form as a PDF is available for applying for individual transportation, also available via the website of Braunschweig.
If you are also interested in using a cell phone ticket, you can currently only use it for the SSZK D-Ticket. It is important to ensure that a change between the chip card and cell phone ticket is only possible every six months. If the cell phone is lost, the ticket can be transferred to another device, which also simplifies the use.
With the upcoming summer vacation and the changes to the student transportation, it remains exciting for the Braunschweig students. Being optimally prepared for the new school year is now more important than ever. Further information on the use and application can also be found on the website of the Verkehrsverbund Süd-Niedersachsen.
