Student travel passes
Application for fare reimbursement – everything students living in Cottbus or in the Spree-Neiße district need to know.
Student travel passes are issued exclusively at the Cottbusverkehr customer center on the Stadtpromenade – not at vending machines and not at sales agencies.
An overview of the process is available here as a PDF.
In many cases the cost of student travel passes can be covered by the school authority. The relevant rules are set out in the respective student transport statutes:
- Statute of the City of Cottbus/Chóśebuz
- Statute of the Spree-Neiße district
- Amendment statute of the Spree-Neiße district
Student travel passes are personal season tickets and are non-transferable.
Validity
Within the individual fare zone, student passes are valid for an unlimited number of trips for the duration of the contract.
Renewing the chip card
If a chip card already exists and only the travel authorization is to be extended, this can also be done in person or by mail. The required documents are listed above depending on the place of residence.
