Regional public transportation ticket

Students at the universities in Jena can use the busses and trams of the Jena regional transportation system with their semester ticket.  In the busses and trams of the Jena regional transportation system, an extra ticket must be bought in order to bring your bicycle along.

VMT – Network (Verkehrsgemeinschaft Mittelthüringen)

Students of the FSU Jena can also from the WS 13/14 on use all routes of transportation companies of the VMT (Verkehrsverbund Mittelthüringen) - see the summary.

Attention! Important Tip:

The VMT-Semester ticket unit is valid within the entire VMT region. According to Point 3 (Inter-regional trips) of the VMT-fee regulations, the VMT semester ticket is only valid for trips which begin and end within the regional network and are recognized within the entire area of the travelled route.

If this is not the case, a complete and separate ticket must be purchased (from start-station to end-station) for the standard fee of the issuing transportation company used for this trip.

A combination of the VMT semester ticket and the standard fee for a trip is not allowed.
For example, the semester ticket can be used for a trip with Line 820 of the Oberland Omnibus Transport (OVO) from Jena to Stadtroda. For the part of the trip on Line 820 from Jena to Wolfersdorf, the VMT- fee, which includes the VMT ticket, is recognized. However, for a trip from Jena to Neustadt, a ticket must be bought for the entire trip for the standard price of the OVO. The trip cannot be broken up into segments; i.e. from Jena to Wolfersdorf and Wolfersdorf to Neustadt.

As long as the bike transport is free for all passengers in the regional trains, this also applies for the train ticket. Students, who have not received a student identification card from their university, or have received a student identification card that does not provide the usual discounts, do not receive a DB Regio train ticket through the university and therefore do not have any right to use the public transportation. This especially applies to guest and side students or students of long distance- and online courses of study.

The semester ticket is always valid until the last train stop in Thuringia. When an adjoining regional day ticket (Länder-Ticket Bayern, Niedersachsen, or Hessen) is purchased for the onward journey, the semester ticket is valid up until the state border (regional day tickets are also valid up until the border of Thuringia). In Thuringia the university institute and Studierendenwerk card thoska is valid as a travel ticket. The only student identification issued by the Friedrich-Schiller-University is the thoska card. Please note: The certificate issued from the service office for students, who do not possess a thoska card and also do not wish to have one, is not recognized by transportation personnel as a valid transportation ticket.
