Coastal Land Ticket Available for Just 58 Euros
The Our Land Ticket, introduced in 2023, offers an economical and convenient option for train travel, particularly for retirees and families. This subscription-based service allows unlimited regional train travel within a specified area or to coastal destinations for a day or a limited period.
For retirees, the Our Land Ticket provides discounted fares based on age. Seniors aged 60 or 65 and above can enjoy reduced fares or special passes that offer up to 50% off on selected trains, though the exact discount may vary depending on the country and specific train operator.
Families can also benefit from the Our Land Ticket, with group/family discounts that make travel cost-effective for groups. The ticket typically includes a base fare for one adult, with reduced fees for additional family members or children. Children under a certain height or age might travel free or at a significantly reduced rate.
Regional day tickets (Länder-Tickets) in Germany, for instance, offer unlimited travel within one state for up to five adults, with cheaper additional fees for extras. This makes it an ideal option for families.
The Our Land Ticket also offers exciting discounts for train travel. For example, additional module 1 allows up to three children to travel for 1.80 euros (from August 1: 1.90 euros) in tariff zone 110 in Leipzig. Another module allows an adult to travel for 5.50 euros per month (from August 1: 5.80 euros) with the Our Land Ticket.
Employees pay only 40.60 euros per month due to an employer's contribution and state subsidy, making it an affordable choice for many.
The Our Land Ticket is valid on weekdays from 5 pm and all day on weekends and public holidays. It includes regional trains, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams, and buses. However, ferry crossings to Borkum, Föhr, and Amrum are not included with the Our Land Ticket.
The Our Land Ticket allows travel to numerous places on the North and Baltic Sea, such as Timmendorfer Strand and Cuxhaven. Citizens who buy online from the Leipzig Transport Authority until August 11 can participate in a lottery for prizes such as family tickets for the Leipzig Zoo, vouchers for a pedal boat ride on Cospuden Lake, or entrance tickets for the Crystal Palace.
Since January 1, 2025, the Our Land Ticket is valid for certain cross-border buses in Luxembourg. This expansion makes it an even more attractive option for those looking to explore beyond their immediate region.
In summary, the Our Land Ticket provides value by allowing unlimited regional train travel, offering discounted fares for retirees based on age, providing group/family discounts, and being an economical option, especially for retirees with additional discounts in the summer. It is a convenient and relaxing choice for train travelers.
The Our Land Ticket, with its unlimited travel benefits and discounts, significantly improves the travel aspect of one's lifestyle, making it an affordable and convenient option for train travel. For retirees, the lowered fares based on age and special passes provide a cost-effective way to explore various coastal destinations, contributing to a more leisurely retirement lifestyle.
