Price information

Price
With the Bavarian concession ticket, the Free State of Bavaria is subsidising the “Deutschlandticket” for students to the amount of €20. For students at the University of Augsburg and the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences, the subsidy is credited to the semester ticket so that the “Deutschlandticket” costs only €15.89.

The same rules apply as for the “Deutschlandticket”. This means the ticket can be used on all regional and local public transport throughout all of Germany.
