JSC “Pasažieru vilciens” has concluded an agreement with the municipality of Ogres on the possibility for the students of Ogres from today, May 2, to receive trips on the train paid for by the municipality from their place of residence to the educational institution and back in the territory of the municipality between the stops “Ikškile” and “Jumprava”, presenting Ogres county student card.
Pupils will be able to get tickets paid for by the municipality at ticket offices in railway stations by presenting the student card of Ogre district marked with the holographic sticker “COUNTY” or “TOWN/COUNTY”. It will also need to be shown to the conductor-controller on the train, so that when checking the ticket, the conductor-controller can make sure that the person presenting the student card of Ogre region is the student indicated on it.
Outside the box office, the ticket will be issued by the conductor controller on the train. Students who board the train at a stop where there is no train ticket office (“Párogre”, “Ciemupe” and “Jumprava”) will be able to get a ticket from the conductor’s controller.
The fare relief will not apply to the baggage ticket and trips on weekends, public holidays and school holidays.
