Train fares - concession for students?

lin · Apr 28th, 2004, 22:42

Hi all,

Tried to search on the following subject, but didn't find anything interesting. Would be great if anyone could comment on it.

What/Are discounts are available for those with international student ID cards?

- Train fares?
- Entry fees?
- Others?

And could those discounts also apply to those under 24, but without the int'l student ID card?

Can't find my Trains at a Glance right now, but I believe that students do get some percentage off train fare, as do seniors, war heroes, and a few other classes of persons.

Entry fees? Like to the Taj? Forget it!

And if you don't have a student ID (and you're much better off with one from your school than that old International Student ID), forget it.

I could easily be wrong, but I believe that only the senior citizens discounts on trains are available to foreigners.

Steven is right. Student concessions do not apply to foreigners.
