Transport: what reductions for young people, students and apprentices?

Verified 04 April 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Each organization or community that organizes public transport defines its pricing policy. However, this is not a general obligation, as there is no provision requiring reduced tariffs to be applied solely on the basis of age. At the national level, there is a Student-Student-Apprentice (PSE) fare for the journey from home to study or learning by TGV or Intercités train. We present you with the information you need to know.

EEA

If you are a student or apprentice, you can benefit from tickets at Student-Student-Apprentice (EEA) tariff on your home-to-school or apprenticeship by TGV or train Intercités.

To do this, you need to file a rights opening request file from an online service:

Warning  

If you want to travel regularly on a regional train (TER, liO Train, NOMAD...), this is not appropriate. Find out about the arrangements put in place by the Regions.

After validation of your request (under 5 working days), you will receive a certificate to print. The certificate is valid for one academic year, only between the stations corresponding to your place of residence on the one hand, and to your place of schooling, study or learning on the other.

You can then purchase your tickets by batch of 10 minimum SNCF ticket office for journeys to be completed within 2 months of purchase. The subscription is therefore intended for travelers making at least one round trip every 2 weeks.

The certificate will be presented when purchasing your tickets at the station and on board the train. You may also be asked for identification.

You can consult the price train tickets using a simulator:
