With the new annual passes from the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV), school pupils can be mobile for twelve months of the year from August. The RMV offer for schoolchildren comprises three variants, two of which can be supplemented. In this way, RMV aims to cater to different customer needs with individualised solutions.
School travelcard
The basic offer, the SchulzeitKarte, is only available from schools and school authorities for pupils entitled to free travel. The SchulzeitKarte is only valid during school hours for the fare zones between home and school. However, anyone wishing to travel for free during the holidays can purchase a supplement at the Mobility Centre in the infoCentre on Marktplatz. The supplement costs 14 euros for price levels 1 to 3 and 13 and 29 euros for the other price levels. These additional value tickets then allow free travel between home and school for one school year, even during the holidays in the respective fare zones.
Annual school travelcard XL
The second variant is called SchülerjahresKarte XL. It is valid during the school year for journeys between home and school. The XL card costs 9.5 times the monthly education tariff and includes free travel during the school holidays. With the SchülerjahresKarte XL, pupils are also mobile during the holidays.
Annual school travelcard XXL
Variant three is the premium offer and is only intended for the larger cities. In cities such as Frankfurt, Mainz and Wiesbaden, the denser transport network enables much more intensive use. The XXL card costs 10 times the monthly training tariff and is valid during the holidays and throughout the entire RMV area. What is already included in the XXL annual school travelcard can be purchased additionally for the XL travelcard. This surcharge is paid once a year and depends on the price levels.
Annual school travelcards are always valid from 1 August of a year to 31 July of the current school year. However, it is possible to join the RMV offer at any time up to 1 February 2005. Only the remaining months are then paid for. However, if you would like to benefit from the new offer for the whole school year, the following applies: get started now and drop by the infoCentre on Marktplatz in the next few days. The staff at the mobility centre are available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to provide comprehensive advice.
