Authorised types of training

Trainees who have neither their place of residence nor their place of training in Upper Austria do not fulfil the requirements for free travel for school pupils. Therefore, no Youth Ticket Network can be issued. Free travel is available to pupils and apprentices under the age of 24 for whom family allowance is received, provided they are attending a school with public rights or a recognised vocational training course in Upper Austria.

The KlimaTicket OÖ (with the Junior discount) is a possible alternative. Depending on the ticket category (Regional, Regional + Linz, Regional + Wels, Regional + Steyr or Total), it enables the use of public transport throughout the entire Upper Austrian transport network, excluding or including the core zone transport services of the cities of Linz, Wels and Steyr.

Pupils completing a compulsory work placement also have the option of a subsidy for school trips. In order for the work placement to be recognised as part of the school curriculum, it must be officially anchored in it and completed regularly by the pupil.
