VGN Fahrplan & Tickets Android

VGN Fahrplan & Tickets

The free timetable app of the Greater Nuremberg Transport Network (VGN).

Overview

Features & Capabilities

VGN Timetable & Tickets is a free browser extension that provides real-time timetable information and ticketing for the Greater Nuremberg Transport Network (VGN). It covers S-Bahn, R-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram and bus with live departures, route planning, Park & Ride routing, and eTariff billing. The app also supports accessibility options, a choice of Dark or Light mode, and quick access to tickets. Push notifications keep you updated on timetable changes.

Data protection and permissions are designed with privacy in mind: the app uses contacts only for address selection, stores map data locally, and uses location data to improve underground positioning during egon rides. A single myVGN login provides access to all features, and support is available 24/7 at apps@vgn.de.

User Reviews

Many users found the VGN Fahrplan & Tickets app useful for public transport ticketing and journey planning, supported by good customer service. However, recent updates introduced serious problems: the app crashes frequently, especially during ticket purchase; ticket display and syncing are unreliable, leading to invalid or missing tickets; payment integration issues cause additional costs or login problems; performance is slow with long load times; and transport delay information is inaccurate or missing. These issues significantly hamper usability and trust in the app.
Pros
  • Good customer service with quick response and helpful support for issues like ticket cancellation and refunds.
  • App is generally useful and important for managing tickets and public transport connections.
  • Some users found the app helpful for purchasing tickets and planning journeys before recent updates.
  • The app works fine on some occasions and has useful features for travel planning.
Cons
  • App frequently crashes, especially when trying to purchase tickets or access ticket screens.
  • Ticket display and syncing issues, such as not showing valid subscriptions, tickets disappearing, and login problems.
  • Slow performance, long loading times, and sluggish search functionality.
  • Payment issues, including problems linking credit/debit cards, PayPal causing extra charges, and app logging users off or refusing credentials.
  • App does not reliably show delays or disruptions in transport, leading to missed connections and unreliable journey planning.

In general good app. But recent update in Jan 2025 is managed very badly. The app keeps to log me off. Can you please fix it?
