Since the summer semester 2013, students can use the public transport of the Verkehrsbetriebsgesellschaft Passau (VBP) free of charge. The student card, now with the VBP logo, in combination with the identity card or passport serve as a bus ticket.
With the semester ticket, buses on the routes of the Verkehrsbetriebsgesellschaft Passau can be used. The ticket is valid daily and for all routes except for the "Oberhausbus". The ticket can also be used during the lecture-free periods.
A fee must be paid upon re-registration for each semester. The price of the ticket is only advantageous when everyone participates.
Students with disabilities who are entitled to free public transportation and who have the disability card and the attached sheet with the sticker can apply to the Studierendenwerk Counseling Student Life department for a refund.
Please note that you must also present the identity card or passport in addition to the student card. This is not sufficient. The ticket is not transferable.

Bavarian discount ticket and "Aufpreisticket" for students
As part of the Bavarian discount ticket for students, Stadtwerke Passau has entered into a cooperation agreement with the Regensburger Verkehrsverbund (RVV).
The subscription for the RVV Aufpreisticket is available online via RVV since 27.09.2023. Access and sales are made via https://abo.rvv.de/ as follows:
- access the online ordering portal https://abo.rvv.de/, select ‘Deutschlandticket für Studierende’ and register at the institution that suits you best.
- provide email address and IBAN for direct debit when ordering online.
- open the e-mail box and click on the confirmation link in the e-mail from RVV.
The purchase of the Aufpreisticket is only possible for students of Universität Passau. There will be an authorization query during the subscription process.
The RVV-Aufpreisticket is recognized throughout Germany as the Deutschlandticket.
The semester ticket fee already paid is credited monthly, so that students only have to pay the monthly difference between the semester ticket and the Bavarian discount ticket. With the price increase of the Deutschlandticket from 01.01.2026 to € 63,00 per month and the Bavarian discount ticket to € 43.00 per month, the difference between the semester ticket and the Bavarian discount ticket will also increase from January 2026 and thus also the price of the surcharge ticket to € 36.42 per month.
The tickets are sent monthly by e-mail directly to the e-mail inbox - as a PDF (print-at-home solution) and wallet link, which can be used to download the ticket directly to a smartphone.
The subscription is automatically renewed.
Cancellation of the ticket from the next month must be done by the 10th of the current month as follows:
- Go to the online portal https://abo.rvv.de/, select ‘Deutschlandticket für Studierende’ and register at the institution that suits you best.
- cancel subscription: Under "Mein Abonnement" the upgrade can be cancelled. It is not necessary to cancel your subscription by e-mail to RVV or similar!
