Employer-subsidised commuter ticket pays off
Train travel saves time and is good for the environment
Travelling by train is a cost-efficient and sustainable choice. For companies, business travel by train is always less expensive than kilometre allowances paid for the use of employees’ own cars. The average cost of train travel is 11 cents per kilometre. The kilometre allowance for car travel is 43 cents per kilometre.
Sending those final emails for the day from the train on your way home helps you to end your working day more flexibly. This frees up more time for your hobbies, family, friends and relaxation.
VR’s commuter vouchers
You may cover all or part of an employer-subsidized public transport ticket’s cost with a commuter voucher that an employer has purchased. When travelling with us, a season ticket functions as an employer-subsidized public transport ticket.
Commuter vouchers can be purchased at our service points at the stations and VR's group sales.
