About this app

VGN Timetable & Tickets: Your free app for the Greater Nuremberg Transport Association (VGN)

Whether S-Bahn, R-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram, or bus – with the VGN Timetable & Tickets app, you always have the perfect companion in Nuremberg and the surrounding region. Get quick and easy connection information, current departure times, and platform change updates. Thanks to real-time information, you'll always be up-to-date, even with last-minute changes or disruptions. Even by car or bicycle, you can easily navigate using the Park & ​​Ride routes and cycling directions.

With the VGN eTariff egon, you only pay for what you actually travel – with a daily base fare, per-kilometer billing, and three revenue-based discount levels. Simply check in to start your journey and check out at the end.

Accessibility options are integrated into our timetable information. This helps you avoid common obstacles such as stairs or vehicles that are not wheelchair accessible. (Subject to vehicle information availability)

Ratings and reviews

The Egon stuff I like: you just inform the app that you throw in public transport into your mix of means of transportation and it will buy you the necessary tickets on-the-fly and at a decent price. just check from time to time if the app still works: the ticket controllers typically understand that computers might fail, but they actually do.

Was working great, until a month or so ago. Now, it shows a grey screen every time and I can't do it anything. I tried reinstalling it again and again and it works for a day or two then stops working again. Now, I just use NuMo 🤷‍♀️

The App keeps logging me out at random times. Just today, there was a ticket control in my train. When I opened the app, the ticket menu said that my ticket was invalid and that I had to login again. Luckily, the controller gave me the four minutes i needed but he was ready to give me a ticket (70€) I used the app two days ago and it was working fine. I always make sure to click "remember me" when logging in but that seems to do absolutely nothing. everything else is fine
