College and High School: Subsidised travel pass
Pupils and students are entitled to purchase subsidised travel passes for public passenger transport if their place of residence is at least two kilometres away from the place where they are studying.
Applications for the new school/academic year will be approved if your status for 2023/24 has been settled in the secondary, further and higher education records.
You may obtain a subsidised travel pass for scheduled public bus, rail and urban transport services.
After you submit the application for a subsidised travel pass via the eUprava portal, you will receive a decision allowing you to purchase a travel pass. You can buy a subsidised travel pass for a selected period (monthly, annual) online from integrated public passenger transport providers or at physical points of sale.
