SemesterTicket

Further information

The Deutschlandsemesterticket for students is coming

At the start of the summer semester, the first students at Dresden's universities will be able to benefit from the Deutschlandsemesterticket (DST). The new ticket replaces the previous semester ticket.

It is a digital ticket for smartphones that is valid in conjunction with an ID document. The Deutschland­semester­ticket allows students to travel throughout Germany on public transport (local trains, suburban trains, underground trains, buses, trams and many ferries).

What students need to do now

For students at the universities listed below, it is important to know that they have to activate the „Deutschland­semesterticket“ via a platform (RIDE Campus) of the respective university.

Students who have already purchased the Upgrade Deutschlandticket also need to re-register. It is not necessary to cancel the upgrade.

The changeover to a new digital ticket is necessary because, unlike the semester passes and chip cards used previously, the Deutschlandsemesterticket must be valid and verifiable throughout Germany.

First activate your ticket - then set off:

Register as a student via the link of the respective university and get the Deutschlandsemesterticket (DST) on your mobile phone:

NEW: Since 1 April 2024, the local transport day pass for bicycles has also been recognised on buses and trams in the Upper Elbe Transport Association (VVO).


If you are travelling with your dog beyond the VVO, larger dogs count as passengers and are charged as an adult person (booking under the term "dog" instead of a passenger. Small dogs (up to the size of a domestic cat) can travel free of charge in a transport container.
