Own contributions for entitled persons

Families whose children are entitled to have their travel costs covered by the school authority pay a personal contribution of 14 euros for the first child and 7 euros for the second child per month and ticket for a DeutschlandTicket Schule. Adult children in a family are not included in this calculation and pay the same fare as the first eligible child. From the 3rd child onwards and for children for whom ongoing assistance towards living expenses is paid, no co-payments are levied.

Note: The Conference of Transport Ministers has decided to raise the price of the (regular) DeutschlandTicket to €63 from 1 January 2026. This will affect the entire DeutschlandTicket product family, meaning that the price for the DeutschlandTicket Schule will increase to €43 from 1 January 2026. The price will be adjusted automatically if the Bundesrat agrees.

All pupils from primary school to secondary level 2, provided their place of residence or school location is in the VRR network area. The school authority decides whether a DeutschlandTicket Schule is issued.

Families whose children are entitled to have their travel costs covered by the school authority pay a personal contribution of 14 euros for the first child and 7 euros for the second child per month and ticket for a SchokoTicket. Adult children in a family are not included in this calculation and pay the same fare as the first eligible child. From the 3rd child onwards and for children for whom ongoing assistance towards living expenses is provided, no co-payments are charged.

Discount for self-payers from the third child onwards

Families without transport cost coverage receive a sibling discount of 50 per cent on the third active SchokoTicket contract for the third child. The SchokoTicket is even free of charge from the fourth active contract in the self-payer area. With the new features of the SchokoTicket, VRR is responding to the political demand of the VRR parliamentary groups to also offer the ticket at attractive conditions to self-paying families with several children. The offer for schoolchildren is becoming fairer overall.

All pupils under the age of 25 from primary school to secondary level 2, provided their place of residence or school location is in the VRR network area.
