Student bus fares have been slashed for the upcoming school year, the transport ministry announced on Tuesday, two days before classes begin.
The decision follows a directive from President Nikos Christodoulides’ office and is part of the government’s broader social policy.
For the 2024-2025 academic year, which will last until August 31, 2025, the monthly student fare will be set at €5, while the annual fare will cost €30.
Students wishing to purchase an annual ticket must obtain a personalised Motion card.
In line with the changes, the ministry has decided to discontinue the quarterly and semi-annual tickets for the new school year. However, single-ride tickets will remain available.
