That’s weird, a go pass is normally like 5€ per journey
It depends of the length of your journey, I pay way more a normal ticket for a train from Tournai to Liege than for a Jeugdticket for the same journey.
Wich one did you buy?
The NMBS UX is completely backwards.
They should not be asking you which ticket you want to buy. Their first question should be “where do you want to go?”. Depending on the answer, if multiple tickets are available, they could then ask you how old the passenger is.
Because one is a fixed price and the other isn’t.
The surplus is to clean up the mess
Youth ticket is fixed rate €6.60/trip no matter the distance. Standard ticket depends on distance. (The Youth Multi is €53 for 10 trips [€55 on paper], which is €5.3 / €5.5 per trip, cheaper than the Youth ticket but still not cheaper than the standard ticket in your case. Also if you make a round trip during a week-end, the week-end ticket might be also much cheaper than using your Youth Multi)
It’s really not confusing at all if you know how the tickets are priced lol. A youth ticket from Arlon to Oostende costs the same as one from brussel midi to brussel Centraal. The point is that it’s a flat ticket, vs the standard ticket which is fixed to distance.
Kwestie om het toekomstig leven al wat gewoon te worden.
Thats for all the extra starbucks coffees and avocado toasts they’re getting
Youth ticket is fixed price so you can go much further. Also pretty sure it lets you go back to. So it would be 18 vs 13 in your case. Please don’t make joke posts with false information. You can just ask why the price is different.
It’s only 4,20 more, they know our youth so well
Ever heard of flat rate pricing? Age doesn’t always mean cheaper tickets.
Weekend Tickets are usually cheaper when roundtrip as well (+- 60-70 km distance)

It’s really just bad IT. The website should suggest a standard ticket when it’s cheaper than the fixed price of a youth ticket, but of course it doesn’t.
price_youth = price_youth if price_youth < price_regular else price_regular

Come on NMBS, make it happen. It’s not hard.
