The Transit Network Area

The area of validity of the MDV-Semesterticket is not extended to MDV Nord (and the fare zone Könnern).

Students will continue to enjoy unlimited rides in the cities of Halle and Leipzig as well as in the districts of Leipzig, Northern Saxony, the Saale district, the Burgenland district and the district of Altenburger Land.

When is a connecting ticket required?

An “Anschlussticket” must be purchased to use trains and S-Bahn trains in MDV Nord (and in the fare zone Könnern).

Tickets for connecting routes must always be purchased and validated before departure. On trains with on-board sales, the purchase of the ticket for continued travel must take place within the area of validity of the MDV-Semesterticket.

For example: Say, a student of the Martin-Luther-University Halle wants to travel to Wittenberg main station with his MDV-Semesterticket. Is that possible?

Yes, that is possible. The student uses his/her MDV-Semesterticket to ride to Landsberg (the last stop in the old MDV transit area) and buys an “Anschlussticket” to travel from Landsberg to Wittenberg main station. The “Anschlussticket” must be bought and validated before the start of the journey.
