Commencement of academic year at a fixed student ticket cost
Affordable Public Transport for Wiesbaden Students: New Hessen SchoolTicket
Starting from August 2025, students in Wiesbaden have a new opportunity to travel throughout Hesse and Mainz at an affordable price. The updated Hessen WI15 student ticket is now priced at 15 euros per month, making it accessible for children and young people in the city [1][2].
This monthly subscription ticket provides a convenient and renewable travel solution, valid for one calendar month [1][2]. To apply for the ticket, students need to provide proof of age and residence, such as a registration certificate, and either proof of the Hessenpass mobil or evidence of social benefits like housing allowance, citizen's income, or child supplement [1].
The application process is simple and can be done online via ESWE Verkehr’s ABO-Online-Portal. This portal is accessible through the ESWE Verkehr website, where applicants can complete the subscription process and secure additional benefits such as a “mini school starter pack” [1][2].
The new Hessen SchoolTicket for Wiesbaden children and young people will become significantly cheaper from 1 August. This change comes as a collaboration between ESWE Traffic, the School Department, and the Social Department [3]. The ticket remains price-stable until summer 2026 due to city support [3].
It's important to note that the regular Hessen student ticket price has increased to around 32 euros per month by the Rhein-Main transport association. However, the city offers a reduced price of 10 euros per month for families with low income or social benefits [3].
Almost 20,000 schoolchildren in Wiesbaden are benefiting from this offer, with 15,146 using the WI15 ticket, and 4,399 using the reduced ticket [4]. The ticket is exclusively for students aged 6 to 17 with their main residence in Wiesbaden [5]. The ticket is now offered as an eTicket on a chip card, making control in the bus or train quick and efficient [6].
Orders and management of the ticket can be done online at www.eswe-verkehr.de/abo-online-portal.html, without waiting times or observing opening hours [7]. The ticket is financed by the fees for resident parking in Wiesbaden [8].
In summary, the Hessen WI15 student ticket offers an affordable solution for students in Wiesbaden to travel throughout Hesse and Mainz. With its convenient online application process, additional benefits, and price stability until summer 2026, this ticket is a valuable resource for families in the city.
