New student Germany ticket: Mobility for everyone in the district!
Schmalkalden-Meiningen, Deutschland - The district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen goes into the future of mobility with big steps. From August 2025, a new Germany ticket will be printed for students to revolutionize the flexible transportation for children and adolescents. Insuedthueringen.de reports that…
The ticket is intended for all students in grades 1 to 13 and costs only 40 euros per month - this is a real snapper, considering that the regular Germany ticket costs 58 euros. The district takes over a monthly grant of 18 euros to dampen the costs for the parents.
easier use for all
With this new regulation, it becomes easier for students to visit leisure activities, friends or even clubs. The ticket may be used throughout school and during the holidays and sometimes replaces the previous reimbursement procedure. And the highlight? Even pupils who were not entitled to a student transport are now also beneficial for discounted mobility - without any bureaucratic hurdles. lra-sm.de adds that ...The introduction of the ticket is part of a comprehensive strategy to improve the mobility of young people in rural areas. In the school year 2025/2026 there will be a transition phase in which the beneficiaries can continue to receive their regular student annual card, but also have the opportunity to switch to the new ticket.
innovative solutions for the future
In the future, more precisely in the school year 2026/2027, the student Germany ticket will be available directly at the beginning of the school year after an application has been made. Students in grades 1 to 10 can therefore use their usual ticket, while the older ones in grades 11 to 13 no longer have to torture themselves by elaborate reimbursement if they use the ticket at Meininger Busbetriebs GmbH (MBB).

Due to the exclusive connection of the ticket via the MBB, the grant remains in the region and strengthens the economic power of the local transport company, which creates a win-win situation. The new ticket not only applies to the way to school, but also enables nationwide use in local transport - for the entire leisure activities, be it to friends, in the city or in the swimming pool.
Overall, it can be seen that the district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen has the right nose for the needs of its young citizens. Further information can be found on the respective websites www.lra-sm.de and www.kwsm.de.
