New tariff offer for students from Belgium
Currently, your semester ticket not only covers the whole of North Rhine-Westphalia but also the Dutch Vaals and Kerkrade as well as the Belgian Kelmis. From 01 April 2019 you can use many buses and trains to and from South Limburg. Here is a schematic listing of the included lines by Arriva. Important: due to technical differences of the traffic, you have to show a certificate of study on Arriva lines – this is also sufficient electronically.
