The Sozialticket is a discounted monthly ticket that allows eligible persons flexible use of local public transport within the city of Salzgitter (tariff zone 60). The price of the Sozialticket is 25 euros for adults (aged 15 and over) and 15 euros for children (aged 6 to 14).

The Sozialticket is valid for the services of KVG Braunschweig, Regionalbus Braunschweig GmbH (RBB), Harzbus GbR and DB Regio AG in the area of the city of Salzgitter, but can also be used for other fare zones with an extension card for individual journeys.

Citizens with their first place of residence in the city can buy the Sozialticket if they receive income-dependent, living benefits. These benefits are

• Assistance with living expenses
• Basic income support in old age or in the event of reduced earning capacity in accordance with SGB XII
• Basic income support or social benefit according to SGB II

The Sozialticket can only be purchased at the KVG Mobility Center at Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 8 in Salzgitter Lebenstedt. You must present a valid eligibility card to purchase it. It is not available on buses, nor at RBB GmbH or Deutsche Bahn.

Eligibility cards are mailed to all eligible benefit recipients at the beginning of each year. Anyone who has not received an eligibility card can obtain one from their assigned case worker in the Social Services and Senior Citizens Department of the Salzgitter City Administration.

Recipients of benefits under SGB II can obtain it in the designated offices on the sixth floor of City Hall in Lebenstedt. For more information, please call the number listed below (see Contact).
