Cologne City Train

Does anyone know how much a month (30 day) city train/transportation pass costs for an adult from Ehrenfeld, to the Max Planck Institutue or the city center?





To qualify for student rates, do you have to be a student of a German institution?





Thank you!!

A monthly ticket (calendar month - not 30 days) is EUR 70,30 for all of Cologne.





The VRS has some info in English, but not really about these types of tickets.





Monatsticket

JobTicket

This is a ticket a company buys for all employees at a location.





SemesterTicket

The student ID of students at Cologne and area insitutions is also good as public transport area for one term (6 months).



Apart from this there are no discounts for %26quot;other%26quot; students.





But you%26#39;re normally not a student if working for a Max-Planck-Institute. Even if this is just a working placement or similar. Don%26#39;t know if the Max-Planck-Institute in Cologne take offer JobTickets for their employees.



JobTicket and SemesterTicket are considerably cheaper than normal monthly tickets and cover also the whole VRS area - not just one or more zones.
