Free Travel for Children in North Rhine-Westphalia - VRS Extension, Another Day of Discounted Travel - Commission Proposal Sought for Safeguarding Workers from Radiation Hazards via a Directive on Ionising Radiation Safety
On September 20th, 2025, a special promotion is being offered for children across North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). In celebration of World Children's Day, children up to and including 14 years old can travel for free on all public transportation, including buses, trams, and regional trains, throughout the region.
The promotion is a joint initiative by the four major public transport associations in NRW: Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Ruhr (VRR), Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (VRS), Verkehrsverbund Westfalen-Süd (WestfalenTarif), and Aachener Verkehrsverbund (AVV). This means that children can enjoy free travel across the entire NRW public transport network.
The VRS region, which includes cities like Cologne and Bielefeld, is extending the free travel offer for two days, including September 21st. This means that children in the VRS region can travel for free on both days. No ticket is required for children to travel, making it a hassle-free experience for families.
For children under seven years old, who have not yet started school, this promotion is especially beneficial as they can travel for free on public transportation throughout the year, not just on September 20th.
The Westphalia Tariff Association announced this promotion, and many activities for World Children's Day are expected in the VRS region. This promotion is a great opportunity for children to explore the region and participate in the various activities planned for World Children's Day.
This promotion is valid only on September 20th, but in the VRS region, it is also valid on Saturdays and Sundays, making it a convenient option for families planning weekend outings.
Whether you're in Cologne, Bielefeld, or any other city in NRW, children can enjoy free travel on public transportation on September 20th, making it an exciting day for families across the region.
