Germany semester ticket

Last updated 29. August 2024 | Sprecherinnen

Summary

The Semester ticket (SemTix) with included nationwide semester ticket (DSemTix) is coming in winter semester 24/25, more specifically starting on 1 October 2024! With the increased price of the tuition that was payed in July, the ticket has already been purchased for the upcoming semester. It will be available digitally on the UniNow App, which is still being finalized. You will be able to see both your DSemTix, and your Student ID in this App. The App will be done in time for the start of the semester and we will make the information to log in available to you as soon as we can. Just like before, the ticket is purchased for one semester and can therefore not be canceled on a monthly basis.

FAQ

What is the DSemTix and how can I buy it?


The DSemTix is a nationwide offer for student bodies to buy a semester ticket valid for public transport within Germany. The ticket can only be purchased as a student body. This means that you cannot buy the ticket individually. This is called the Soldiar model, because all students buy the ticket and thus enable a low price. It will be included in the semester ticket and therefore does not ahve to be payed for seperately.

The DSemTix replaces the current semester ticket (SemTix).

What does the DSemTix cost?


The DSemTix is linked to the price of the Deutschlandticket and costs 60% of the current Deutschlandsticket price. In case the regular price of the nationwide ticket increases (currently 49€/month), this linkage would remain. The DSemTix would currently cost €29.40 per month, i.e. €176.40 per semester. This price is included in the tution.

How will the DSemTix be offered?


The DSemTix is a purely digital ticket offer and will function via the UniNow app. For students that are not able to retrieve the ticket, there will be an option to apply for a physical chipcard. However, there is a very limited number of chipcards available, which is why they will only be available to students that have no other option of using the ticket. Byreceiving the chipcard, your digital ticket will also be invalidated. The application will be made available to you soon.

The SemTix upgrade is the current solution for using your SemesterTicket (SemTix) throughout Germany. This solution expires at the end of the winter semester 24/25!
