MDV-Semesterticket

The MDV full ticket is based on the principle of solidarity: just because all students pay automatically, this ticket is available at this price. If the model were not in solidarity, you could freely decide whether you want to buy a ticket or not, the semester ticket would be significantly more expensive. Because all students pay, the public transport company has reliable income and the students have a cheaper ticket. The Student Council is of the opinion that all students must have the opportunity to use a semester ticket. During the ballot, the students then opted for the full ticket option.

The MDV full ticket is only valid in the area of ​​the MDV and has nothing to do with the country tickets. As soon as you drive to a place outside the MDV area, you need another ticket. Since the network area of ​​the MDV does not always end at a stop, a valid ticket is required for a connection from the last stop in the MDV to the desired destination.

No. The semester ticket is only valid for properly enrolled students.

If your ID is no longer legible (i.e. the imprint, your photo, etc. is no longer recognizable), the current validity (from the validation terminal) cannot be printed and a visual inspection of the ID by the inspection staff is no longer possible.
The majority of the transport companies can read the ticket electronically. The main modes of transport, in particular HAVAG, Deutsche Bahn, LVB, etc., are equipped with electronic reading devices. However, a few small modes of transport can only carry out the visual inspection. If the readability is poor, the control personnel are advised to inform you that you should get a new ID in the SSC due to the poor readability. If legibility is not possible due to the state of the ID, a so-called increased transportation fee (EBE, 60 €) is due. This EBE will be reduced to € 7 if you have your ID electronically read out within the payment period.
You also have a problem with the visual inspection of a badly worn ID card in the cinema, zoo, etc. ... wherever you get a discount when you present your student ID card. In this case you should get a new ID from your university. For this purpose, the universities are obliged to collect an amount of € 10.30 in accordance with the Saxony-Anhalt State Fee Schedule.

The semester fee you pay for enrollment or re-registration currently consists of

• 80.00 € student union fee
• 143,40 € semester ticket amount for WS 2020/2021 and SoSe 2021 (except Hochschule Anhalt)
• Stura contribution (different depending on the university).

The MDV full ticket includes all means of transport in the area of ​​the MDV, including the DB Regio trains (S-Bahn, regional train, Regionalexpress), but not long-distance trains (e.g. ICE).

Yes you can. You can take max. 3 own children up to and including the age of six free of charge in the entire MDV area. In the Halle tariffzone, students from a Halle university can take up to three of their own children up to and including the age of 14 free of charge. Similarly, students of Merseburg University of Applied Sciences can take up to three of their own children up to and including 14 years of age in the Merseburg tarif zone free of charge

In the Halle tarif zone (210), taking bicycles in trams and buses is free of charge on weekdays from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. and all day on weekends and public holidays. In the MDV area, it is possible to take bicycles on all local trains free of charge all day long (if the train is not too full, ie if the transport capacities allow it).

Yes, students on leave or severely disabled students with free travel entitlement can be exempted from the contributions. The conditions in § 4 of the student union's contribution regulations also apply to the MDV full ticket.

As a rule, you cannot be exempted from paying the semester ticket. On the basis of the Studentenwerk law , the Studentenwerk collects contributions from the students. There is a fee schedule for this. Students are required to pay a contribution. Only students who are on leave or severely disabled students who are entitled to free travel can be exempted from contributions.

Yes, in the event of de-registration or death during the semester, the amount of the semester ticket can be reimbursed for every full month that has not yet started. To do this, you have to come to one of HAVAG's two service centers (escalator or Halle Neustadt) in person and prove your de-registration.
