Information on the eTicket

  • At RMV ticket machines bearing the eTicket logo the monthly ticket for pupils and apprentices is issued as eTicket on the RMV smart card. Only tickets for RMV cross-network fare zones are still issued on paper. This means:
    • You must have a smart card and eligibility for using the ticket charged at the training rate must be stored on it. If the eligibility time window corresponds to the ticket selection, the monthly ticket for the RMV area is solely issued as an electronic ticket. If the selection does not correspond, a ticket cannot be purchased.
    • Mixing smart card and paper format (eligibility on the smart card and monthly ticket as a token or vice versa) is not possible.
