Procedure for school tickets (public transport)
From the 2025/2026 school year, the procedure for the school travelcard will change. There will be an upstream online demand query. The prerequisite for receiving a school travelcard will then be the registration of requirements.
All pupils who are entitled to a school travelcard and would like to receive one must register their need online.
If there is an entitlement and the notification of need has been submitted, the school travelcard will be issued at the respective school at the start of the school year.
All pupils have the right to use public transport. This is independent of whether a right to transportation arises from the school transportation statutes.
However, if there is no free transport entitlement, all pupils or their legal guardians are free to purchase single, multiple or monthly tickets from the transport company.
If required, a network-wide monthly student ticket (30 euro ticket) can be purchased from the WVG. Further information on all tickets can be obtained from the WVG
