Why is train and bus/train travel not free for pupils and students?
In other countries in the EU the 0 € ticket is on the rise, even for everyone.
If you were to give up your car, could you take the next bus?
- Luxembourg. "Luxembourg is the first country in the world to make mobility free ," the Luxembourg government advertises on its website. …
- Malta. …
- Hasselt, Belgium. …
- Tallinn, Estonia. …
- Dunkirk, France.
That would be a good measure. In the country, the children have to go by bus or train to school. If the child does not visit the school allocated by the country, this is a terrible administrative procedure with us. You also don’t get the full amount refunded, but only the part that would arise to the assigned school.
School trips to the theatre or other are also subject to charges.
Parents would be a great financial help and the application procedure is complicated to reorganize each year. You can save yourself.
For students, the semester ticket of my knowledge is included in the semester fee. There are also guaranteed federal states where it is not.
A German-wide solution with 0€ for students and active students would be great.
In the end, you could improve the ÖPNV as it would be more used….
Those who want to use the services of the ÖPNV should also pay for it. I have to pay the hairdresser if I want to use his services.
For students, the train for the federal state is already integrated in the respective semester ticket. They can make fun of it.
Because I don’t want to.
Paid or running.
No, I’d drive nicth by the train if it were free.
I wouldn’t even drive if you paid me for it.
Car and ready.
We’ve been through this for half a year. By train from Leverkusen to Cologne. The long trains were incredibly crowded, even though they drove every 20 minutes. We needed about 20 minutes longer than by car. While Corona hadn’t gone.
No, I wouldn’t. Reason: In some cases the buses only drive every 2 hours or in certain directions only 2x a day. So don’t get me when I have to go there and there’s no bus going.
Apart from that I need a lot longer for the same route by bus or have to stop at the train station until it even drives. From that, I simply don’t want to go by bus.
For students there is a semester ticket free of charge when enrolling. This allows you to drive at least in the region, partly also nationwide for free.
Not quite, you have to pay an obolus to the student’s work per semester, otherwise you don’t get this free ride.
Students have a student card and students a discount…
Student cards cost
In Berlin, for example, not.
Yeah, I think it’s great.
