Get an Identity Card
We are aware that if you're under 16, but look older, it can be a hassle proving your age when using public transport. The U16 card takes care of that. You can use it to get a child fare when paying cash, or you can use it when buying child rate season tickets.
The U16 Photocard

Under 16? Use this card to get child rate travel on the bus, train and Metro.

Even if you look older the U16 card proves that you are entitled to a child's fare and child rate season ticket.

It's FREE. Just complete section 1-2 of the Centrocare application form.
