In addition, you can add another stopover to your route. Is your bus or train delayed? Or is another route faster than the train? With the hvv route planner, you always have the latest travel advice at your fingertips and reach your destination even faster.

The recent update was a case of design edging out function. For a sleeker interface, I lost recent trips, realtime updates on my train or bus, and the ability to buy a ticket for a specific journey. I would much rather go back to the old graphics, because I used all these features regularly.

Dear James Donahue, please excuse our late reply. Thank you very much for your feedback. We are planning to integrate more functions into the app in the future based on feedback. Are you getting along better with the new app in the meantime? Kind regards, your HOCHBAHN / LW

Reasonably comprehensive "essential" for Hamburg Travel. Oddly I can't find any real time bus tracking: odd, because the German DB-owned bus companies in uk provide excellent real time bus tracking maps! Perhaps because hamburg buses are always on time? - though that seems unlikely somehow! Takes up a lot of precious memory on my phone, by any measure, especially when compared to similar regional apps elsewhere in Germany. To be fair though it does more things and better!

0 room for mistakes, if you do one step differently you need to start all over again. frustrating to use for tourists.
