If the legal requirements are met, there is a legal entitlement to a student ticket or reimbursement of costs. If the distance from the home address to the school is more than 2 km, students in grades 1-4 receive a ticket for local public transport upon a corresponding application by the parents. From grade 5, the distance must be more than 3 km. The shortest reasonable walking distance is measured. Exceptions are possible in the case of a disability or a particularly dangerous or difficult route to school.
From grade 11 onwards, the costs are only reimbursed if the legal requirements are met, i.e. the costs are reimbursed after the end of the school year, taking into account a family load limit.
