Pursuant to Ministry of Transport instructions:

The holders of student period tickets of any kind are not eligible for compensation for the closing of a track section.
If notification of the closing of a track section is announced on the website and at the stations 14 days before the start of the closure, holders of 7-day flexible Rav Kav will not be eligible for an extension.
