Germany tickets are not subsidised

Social welfare office of the city of Chemnitz informs

Due to many enquiries, the City of Chemnitz Social Welfare Office has informed you that the Deutschlandticket is not subsidised for recipients of citizen's allowance, social assistance or benefits for asylum seekers, as the monthly expenses for transport and mobility are already included in the standard rate.

All tickets already discounted for senior citizens, schoolchildren and trainees are still available, while children travel free of charge until the first day of school.

The Deutschlandticket, which was introduced on 1 May, allows passengers to use all means of local and regional transport throughout Germany. It is available via all sales channels of the transport companies, in Chemnitz from CVAG and VMS.
