Validated student ID counts as 9 EUR ticket

The legislator has decided on a 9€- ticket for public transport as well as regional transport (no IC/ICE/EC, etc.) throughout Germany. Hof University would like to point out that a validated student ID(semester ticket) already counts as a 9€- ticket. The purchase of additional tickets by students is therefore unnecessary.
