Dear students,
As you probably know, in January the German government decided to adjust the existing Germany Ticket and to offer students a Semesterticket for the whole of Germany. I am pleased to inform you that the results of the referendum were announced this morning.
With a turnout of 38.83%, you voted in favor of the Deutschlandticket with a majority of 59.93%.
Starting with the winter semester 2024/25, there will be a new semester ticket.
There were two options to choose from:
| The existing semester ticket with the MVB | Ticket for the whole of Germany |
| It costs about €9 per month or €53,70 per semester. | It costs €29,40 per month or €176,40 per semester. |
| It is valid for public transportation in Magdeburg, meaning you can use MVB trams and buses. | It is valid within the area covered by the Deutschlandticket. You can use all public transport buses and trains throughout Germany. |
| It is included in your student ID card. | It can only be used through an application. |
| It cannot be cancelled monthly and is valid for an entire semester. | It cannot be cancelled monthly and is valid for an entire semester. |
| It is still possible that the costs will increase due to price adjustments. Unfortunately, we do not know anything more about this at the moment. | The price is stable until the end of the winter semester 2024/25. After that, there may be price adjustments as the ticket is based on the regular Deutschlandticket price and costs 60% of the regular price. |
We will keep you informed about important news!
