Deutschlandticket (Jobticket)

Smart offers the Deutschlandticket to employed members as a job ticket. The monthly costs can be offset against your available budget. 

How does is work?

As an employee of Smart you can apply for the ticket by yourself in the BVG portal. You transfer the cost of the ticket from your own bank account to the BVG yourself. You will then receive a refund from your budget as part of the payroll for the current month. Please contact members@smartde.coop so that we can activate your ticket as your employer and provide you with the access data for the BVG portal.

With the Deutschlandticket (also known as the €49 ticket), you can use regional and local public transport throughout Germany. You can find out more about the conditions here.

Please note that this service is only available to employed Smart members.
