Full-age children in a family are not taken into account in this count and then pay the same fare as for the first eligible child in any case.

The DeutschlandTicket Schule can be cancelled free of charge at any time on the 10th of the month.

Own contributions for entitled persons

The own contributions of the ticket users for the SchokoTicket are laid down in the Schülerfahrkostenverordnung NRW.
Families whose children are entitled to have their travel costs paid by the school authorities pay a contribution of 14 euros per month and ticket for the first child and 7 euros per month and ticket for the second child. Full-age children in a family are not taken into account in this count and then pay the same fare as for the first eligible child in any case. From the 3rd child onwards and for children for whom ongoing assistance for subsistence is provided, no own contribution is charged.

Discount for self-payers from the third child onwards

Families without a travel allowance receive a sibling discount of 50 per cent on the third active SchokoTicket contract for the third child. From the fourth active self-paying contract onwards, the SchokoTicket is even free of charge. With the innovations around the SchokoTicket, VRR meets the political demand of the VRR parliamentary groups to also offer self-paying families with several children the ticket at attractive conditions. The offer for schoolchildren becomes fairer overall.

The SchokoTicket can be cancelled at any time. This way, pupils can convince themselves of the advantages of the ticket. If the SchokoTicket does not suit your mobility, you can simply cancel it by the end of the month. The subscription period is extended by another month unless the transport company receives notice of cancellation by the last day of the current month.

All pupils under 25 years of age from primary school to secondary level 2, provided that their place of residence or school location is in the VRR area.
