Romanian Pensioners to Receive Discounted Train Tickets for 2027

Romanian pensioners are set to receive six discounted train trips for the year 2027. These coupons, offering a 50% reduction on second-class Regio and InterRegio trains, will be distributed by Poșta Română. Typically, these booklets are sent out in December along with pension slips.

The Casa Națională de Pensii Publice is responsible for ensuring that these discounts reach all eligible pensioners, including those in both public and non-integrated pension systems. New pensioners will receive their tickets when they start receiving their pension payments.

Unused train tickets from 2026 will expire on December 31st, 2026, and they cannot be carried over to the new year or converted into cash. Pensioners must note that using expired coupons in 2027 could result in paying the full fare plus additional surcharges.

For those who need to cancel their trips, it is possible to recover the coupon if the cancellation is made before the train departs. This requires a request at the ticket office. Lost or undelivered coupon booklets can be replaced by territorial pension houses.

To purchase a discounted ticket, pensioners must present their coupon along with identification at the ticket office. The coupon is retained by the office, and the passenger must show both their ticket and ID during the train journey.

It is important for pensioners with other free transportation rights to choose which benefit they wish to use, as they cannot combine discounts. The value of the discount depends on the ticket price and travel distance, rather than being a fixed sum.
