Student subscriptions are travel titles valid for 30 calendar days within the Municipality of Sibiu. They allow unlimited use of routes throughout the validity period.

Students benefit from free subscriptions starting from December 15, 2023, according to HCL 470/28.11.2023.

ATTENTION!

Starting from June 3, 2024, according to the new procedure, students will continue to benefit from FREE travel; however, they will pay 90% of the subscription cost, i.e., 81 RON to Tursib, an amount that will later be reimbursed by the faculty. The reimbursement details are set by each faculty individually.

Who is eligible for the student subscription?

ULBS students up to the age of 30, attending full-time courses, benefit from free subscriptions for each month of an academic year, according to the Higher Education Law 199/2023 and according to HCL 470/28.11.2023.

Student subscriptions will be loaded onto a Tursib card issued and personalized free of charge by Tursib.

If the student already has a Tursib card, the subscription will be loaded onto the existing card.

How to issue and load the student subscription?

The Tursib card can be issued at any of the Tursib agencies or online through the Tursib portal. If you choose the online option, please select, in advance, the agency where you intend to pick up the Tursib card.

Requests for subsequent activation of the student subscription can be made using the same methods, either by visiting the Tursib agencies or online via the Tursib portal.

For both the card issuance and subsequent activations, the following documents are required:

• Identity card (if the identity card is unavailable, the birth certificate/passport will be presented);
• Original certificate from the faculty/student book stamped for the current academic year/student ID stamped for the current academic year (the latter is valid for doctoral students);
• A document proving the name change, if applicable (e.g., marriage certificate).

Useful information about the Tursib portal can be found here.

How to validate the student subscription?

The subscription is validated immediately after boarding by bringing the Tursib card close to the yellow validators on the buses.

In case the route requires using two or more routes, passengers are asked to validate their subscription in each bus they travel on.

How is the student subscription checked?

Subscription checks are carried out by Tursib traffic inspectors, authorized by the Sibiu City Hall.

The check is done by bringing the PVC Tursib card close to either the control devices used by traffic inspectors or the yellow devices on the bus.

Make sure you have a valid travel title and validate it correctly to avoid any inconvenience.
