Based on the Conclusion of the Government of the Republic of Croatia of 27 December 2024, a project of free transportation of full-time students is introduced. The project will run until 31 December 2025.
The project includes an unlimited number of train trips from the place of residence to the place of study and occasional trips, such as day trips, visits to the doctor, holidays and other trips, in the 2nd class of regular trains in the territory of the Republic of Croatia.
The project contributes to increasing student mobility, stopping emigration to urban areas and supporting demographic revitalization, improving citizens' living standards and encouraging the use of rail transport.
The implementation of this project, in addition to the investment cycle in the renewal of railway infrastructure and the procurement of new trains co-financed by EU funds, will have a positive impact on the increase in use, but also on the sustainability of railway transport, which also contributes to the reduction of adverse environmental impacts of transport.
