The municipal public transport authorities pursuant to Art. 8 BayÖPNVG receive assistance for educational transport pursuant to Art. 24 BayÖPNVG to ensure educational transport in general local public transport.

The aid for educational transport is granted as a lump-sum allocation to the public transport authorities, which pay the compensation to the transport companies that offer or provide local public transport services in the area of the public transport authority. The compensation payments are made for the financial effects attributable to the fulfillment of tariff obligations in connection with the discounting of season tickets for educational transport in local public transport.

The conditions for granting compensation to transport companies are determined by local regulations.
