01 / Draft route
RouteLedger plans economical student routes across Europe and lists every line at its real unit price, checked 12 March. No markup on transport or beds. A flat planning fee of EUR 19 per person is the only amount paid to RouteLedger LLC.
03 / Route corridors
Every amount below is per person, in EUR, with the date we last checked it. Shared dorm and private room sit on the same row so the difference is visible before you ask us anything.
Border buffers are already inside these numbers: add 2 to 4 hours on the Krakow and Budapest corridors for seasonal queues at the Krakow side. Student fare rows require a valid student ID and an age check at booking, and fall back to the standard rate if verification fails. Send a corridor to the planning request form and we return the same ledger with your own dates.

How the ledger is built
Each step states what lands in your inbox. Prices arrive per person, in the currency you pick, with the date they were checked. centraxion.com adds no markup to transport or accommodation.
Give us your dates, the city you leave from and how many students are travelling. Kyiv to Krakow and Lviv to Berlin are the corridors we see most.
You receive a request ID and a confirmation within one working day.
Shared dorm and private room rates sit on the same row for each night, per person, as in Shared dorm bed, Krakow, EUR 12 per night, checked 12 March.
You receive a shared-bed total and a private-room total, with the difference shown in amber.
Every crossing carries a buffer in hours and the reason behind it, such as seasonal queues on the Krakow side. We never call a crossing seamless.
You receive those buffer hours written into the day they affect.
Student fares are marked in amber and need a valid student ID plus an age check at booking. If verification fails, that row is repriced at the standard adult fare before you pay.
You receive the itemized sheet, with the flat planning fee as one line and no other amount paid to centraxion.com LLC.

Verification rules
Four fare rows in our ledger are priced for students. Each one is marked in amber. Before we confirm a booking we check a valid student ID and that you are under 26 on the travel date. Nothing is charged until both checks pass.
The full rules sit in the Student Discount Policy. Unsure which rows need a check? Send the planning request form and we will mark every affected row for your dates. The booking steps are on How it works.

I picked the shared dorm beds because our ledger showed both prices on the same row. Eight nights across three cities, and the only amount I sent to RouteLedger LLC was the flat planning fee. Transport and beds I paid directly, at the prices printed on my sheet.
