Deutschlandticket: Students can receive a monthly upgrade for their semester ticket

For the current summer semester until the end of September, the University of Kassel, the AStA as well as the NVV and the KVG as mobility partners have worked out a short-term solution for an upgrade of the semester ticket to the "Deutschlandticket". This upgrade offers enrolled students a cost-effective option for mobility throughout Germany.

For an additional €23.48 per month, students can upgrade their semester ticket to a Deutschlandticket. This upgrade offer is valid until the end of September and, depending on the order date, from the beginning of June or on the 1st of each subsequent month. It will initially be issued in paper form. For the period from October, the NVV is working on a digital solution to which students can then easily switch.

All conditions and information and the application process for the semester ticket upgrade are summarized on a website: www.uni-kassel.de/go/StudiUpgradezumDTicket

University President Prof. Dr. Ute Clement thanks the AStA, the NVV and the KVG as well as the employees of the university administration for their commitment and the quick solution in the interests of Kassel's students. "At a time when students in particular are feeling the financial burden, this is very good news. It has become possible because everyone involved was committed and prepared to find unconventional solutions. A great joint effort!"

Sebastian Ehlers, Chairman of the AStA, is also pleased with the solution for the Deutschlandticket upgrade for Kassel students: "The interim solution gives students the opportunity to use the Deutschlandticket at an additional cost to the regular semester ticket, albeit with a delay. The exchange that has taken place between the university, AStA and the transport providers gives us hope for a good nationwide solution. We are calling for a swift solution that is uniform and fair for all students nationwide."

NVV Managing Director Steffen Müller is also pleased that the university, AStA and KVG have succeeded in offering students a quick upgrade to the Deutschlandticket: "For our students in Kassel, this offer also has the special attraction of being able to travel cheaply and environmentally friendly in all directions in Germany due to its central location."

"And even in the course of June, it may still be worth ordering the upgrade due to the low price so that you can travel throughout Germany," adds Dr. Olaf Hornfeck, KVG board member.
