Monthly passes are valid from the time of first use to the end of the same calendar day the following month. For example, a monthly pass which is first used on 12th April would be valid up to and including midnight on 12th May.

If the end of the validity period falls on a day that does not appear in the calendar, it will cease to be valid at the end of the last calendar day in the month.

The monthly pass at the reduced price is non-transferable. In addition to the monthly/Abo-monthly pass, your children will need a valid customer pass.

Young passengers of school age, trainees and students, can benefit from the reduced fare. The reduction also applies to the following people:

Monthly passes at the reduced price are available for pupils until 15th birthday inclusive, and to the following:

A customer pass is obligatory

Schoolchildren, trainees and people performing voluntary service can use reduced weekly, (Abo-) monthly passes, the AzubiTicket Saxony and the BildungsTicket only with a customer pass.

Fill out the customer pass completely, affix a passport photo and – if you are 15 or older – have it stamped (confirmation) by your school or by a transport company (upon presentation of training contract). A confirmation from the training company is not permitted.

The customer pass is valid for one year maximum starting from the first confirmed date of validity. In the case of schoolchildren whose customer pass is only confirmed up to the end of the school year, it is valid to the end of the subsequent Saxon school holidays.

For paper tickets, enter your first and last name in the space provided.

At weekends monthly, Abo-monthly and annual passes that are normally priced become family day tickets.

Monthly passes are only valid in 2nd class. Holders of normally priced monthly passes may buy an additional weekly pass or an additional monthly pass to use 1st class in local trains. 

We also offer additional tickets for travel in 1st class on local trains for one-off journeys:

In the VVO region, you can easily combine all tickets. The only exception is the 4-ride ticket for short journeys, whose sections you cannot combine.

Note on validity and stamping of tickets:

Single tickets are valid for an hour longer if they are stamped in the tariff zone for which you already have a day ticket or season pass. If you are travelling on local trains, you should stamp all the tickets you need for your journey before getting on any train at the platform.

If your journey begins in a tram or bus, then stamp the tickets after entering the vehicle. If there is a ticket inspection, please show all your tickets in order to avoid any misunderstanding.

Examples of combination

Example: monthly pass + single trip

You use a monthly pass for the tariff zone Dresden and want to travel to Wehlen in one day? Then buy a single trip for a tariff zone for the onward journey in the tariff zone Pirna. Since you stamp the single ticket in the tariff zone Dresden itself, even though you still have a monthly pass there, it is valid for a longer duration. You then have two hours from the time of stamping to reach Wehlen.

Example: monthly pass + day ticket

You have a monthly pass for both the Radebeul and Dresden tariff zones and want to go hiking in Saxon Switzerland? Then you can additionally buy a day ticket for the Pirna and Bad Schandau tariff zones. Stamp these before boarding the suburban train and you can be mobile throughout the day.

Within the zones and times for which your pass is valid you may take a cycle, cycle trailer or dog free of charge.
