School card

Good to Know About the School Card

The period year ticket is personal

The year ticket may only be used by the person for whom it is issued. In the event of abuse, your / your child's ticket and the right to free school travel may be revoked.

The school card is only intended for the school year ticket and may not be loaded with other tickets or travel cash. If you still choose to load the school card with other tickets or travel cash, the following applies:

  • no loss guarantee can be given.
  • the card is blocked when the loss of the ticket is reported, which means that any other tickets and travel cash on the card are considered used up and can no longer be used.
  • the card cannot be handled by UL Center.

The school card is non-transferable

The school card can only be used by the person it is issued to. In the event of abuse your/your child’s card and the entitlement to free school travel may be withdrawn. Note that the school card may not be uploaded with other tickets.
