Dear student,
As you probably know, your AStA negotiates a separate price with each individual railway company in Lower Saxony every year. This is a lot of effort for our traffic officers and as a result, every university and college has a different transport network.
Together with other student councils in Lower Saxony, we have therefore been negotiating a state-wide uniform semester ticket for some time. This could be valid for all universities and on all regional trains and could be introduced by WS 18/19 at the latest.
Therefore, please take part in this short vote so that we get a broad opinion. The vote is anonymous and forms the basis for deciding whether the nationwide negotiations will continue or not.
Thank you very much!
Your AStA
Imagine you are called to a ballot on a statewide semester ticket for all universities that is valid on all regional trains. The state-wide semester ticket would bring the following improvements for Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences:
- Additional validity on regional trains on the following railway lines:
- Regio-S-Bahn Bremen/Lower Saxony
- Hanover – Hildesheim – Bad Harzburg
- a predictable price development instead of high price jumps as they could occur today, e.g. if a new provider is launched in a regional network
- much easier administration and processing of the ticket by your AStA, as there would only be one central contact person instead of a dozen negotiating partners.
The state-wide semester ticket would lead to the semester ticket price at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences rising by €0 to €10 compared to today.
Unfortunately, the voting period has expired.
