Students can choose between two ticket versions – the maxi version for 32 euros and the mini version for 16 euros. While the maxi version is valid for buses, trains and trams throughout Thuringia, the mini version is primarily used in bus transport.

Parents who have already purchased the ticket can be happy: There is a refund for tickets that have already been purchased, as stated on the website of insuedthueringen.
Independence through mobility

It is particularly important that access to mobility during the summer holidays is also open to students who are not entitled to the Deutschland Ticket. In the past, they often had problems taking part in leisure activities.
Currently, students with a legal right to school transport have been able to use the Deutschland Ticket since May 1, 2023. This can be activated not only on the way to school, but also in your free time and during the holidays. Pull out your calculator! Children whose journey to school is more than two kilometers (primary school) and three kilometers (secondary school) are eligible. However, there were also critics who denounced unequal treatment of students, which those responsible have now addressed with a view to the summer holidays.

In addition, the necessary information is being provided by the schools and information letters have been sent to all schools so that parents and students are well prepared.

A successful initiative that not only promotes mobility, but also helps make the summer holidays an unforgettable experience for the students in the Ilm district.
