With the RMV-CleverCard, schoolchildren and trainees can commute between home and school or training centre without stress and at a lower cost. If you want to avoid long waiting times after the end of the holidays, you should book now.
Travel for twelve months and only pay for eight of them - this price advantage is available to all pupils and trainees who opt for the RMV-CleverCard. With this special ticket, they are mobile for a whole year and don't have to worry about buying the next monthly ticket in good time. During the Hessian holiday period, they can even travel throughout the entire area of the Rhine-Main transport network - regardless of where they live, go to school or train.
Another advantage: the CleverCard is available in cheque card format as an eTicket Rhine-Main. All important data such as validity and route are stored on a chip. This makes it even easier and more convenient to use. This is because the eTicket replaces the customer card and paper token otherwise required for monthly and weekly tickets. The chip card can also be easily replaced if lost.
Pre-order now and use later
With the CleverCard, you can start using it at the beginning of each month. However, Anne Müller-Kreutz, Head of Local Transport Services at Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG), advises: "Even if you don't want to use the card until school starts at the beginning of September, you should order it in advance. This saves waiting times that usually occur at the end of the holidays."
The annual pass for city price level one, i.e. for the city of Giessen and the municipality of Heuchelheim, costs 282.40 euros - provided the total amount is debited over eight months. If you pay for the ticket all at once, you will only have to pay 276.80 euros.
Please note when ordering: From the age of 15, confirmation from the school or training centre is required. This is another reason why it is worth ordering early, as most school secretariats are less frequently open during the holiday period. For children and young people under the age of 15, a simple proof of age is sufficient.
