The Schokoticket is an inexpensive monthly ticket for schoolchildren from the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr and can be chosen for different areas. You should take a close look at them and choose them wisely.

Basics about the chocolate ticket

In general, the same areas as for other VRR tickets apply to the chocolate ticket, whereby the following should be noted:

  • The chocolate ticket is only available for areas D North, D South and the entire area of ​​the VRR called E.
  • If you only need a ticket for a smaller area, such as C, trips between two neighboring tariff zones, the chocolate ticket is still cheaper than a normal monthly ticket.
  • Of course, you have to choose the chocolate ticket for the area where you live and the school is located, otherwise it won't do you any good. But no matter where you live, you always have the choice between the corresponding D area or the entire E. Depending on where you live, you can also consider both D-areas.

When choosing the area of ​​the chocolate ticket, you should look carefully.
