If your journey is constituted of several connecting trains, it is the first leg of your journey that determines whether the “Off-peak” or “Anytime” fare applies.
The minimum price for a journey is €2.6 (rounded), both for a journey without and with Train+. The maximum price of a ticket is determined based on the number of kilometers. However, if you have Train+, you always pay a maximum price of just €5.50 per journey.
The current Senior Ticket is a fixed-rate product that is also subject to conditions (return journey – not before 9 a.m. on weekdays). Many seniors therefore opt for other products. With the basic 40% discount for seniors (any time, any route), these conditions no longer apply. With Train+, additional discounts are available during off-peak hours and at weekends, and a maximum price (also during peak hours) is offered for long distances.
