Semester ticket for students of University of Applied Sciences Zwickau (WHZ)

Germany semester ticket from March 1, 2024

From the summer semester 2024, all students at the Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau will receive the Germany semester ticket for € 29.40 per month or € 176.40 per semester. In future, this ticket can only be used in digital form via a mobile website ("RIDE") on your smartphone. The student ID card will no longer count as a travel pass from March 1, 2024. You will receive all the necessary information on using the ticket via "RIDE" from your university approx. 1 week before the start of the semester. Here you will find instructions on how to use the ticket  (pdf, 1.03 MB)

The same conditions of carriage apply to the Germany Semester Ticket as to the Germany Ticket.

Those who have subscribed to the Deutschlandticket as an upgrade to the semester ticket will receive a notice of termination from the SVZ. The upgrade will then expire automatically at the end of February to avoid double charges.

We will clarify all follow-up questions arising from the conversion of the previous semester ticket to the Deutschlandticket in the coming weeks and will inform you accordingly.
