The Youth Holidays Combi ticket will cost 59 euro per month and can be purchase for travel in July and/or August. The country's four public transport companies have joined forces to launch the ticket that will be tested during the summer vacation period from Saturday 29 June until Sunday 1 Sember.
In a joint press statement the four companies said that ‘The summer period is often synonymous with travel and discovery. Nearly three quarters of young adults already combine or intend to combine rail travel with with other means of public transport".
Various surveys of those that use public transport have shown that young people want this type of combined ticket. "We hope that this will encourage more passengers to use public transport for leisure trips”.
The monthly pass is available exclusively via the Belgian rail company NMBS' sales channels. It must be loaded onto a personisalised Mobib card. The card costs 6 euro. In addition to the Youth Holidays Combi, the rail company NMBS also has its own Youth Holidays Package ticket that offers unlimited travel to those under 26 for 35 euro/month.
