hvv switch – Mobility Hamburg

If you’re American and trying to download Deuschlandticket, this is the one that was able to work for us with a US credit card. Super easy after failing with 2 other apps

I have no idea, where the 180mb of download go. The app is incredibly complex. It needs all kind of information like email, names, address, credit card before anything works. While you spend 15 or 20 minutes to set up everything, your buses pass and you keep missing them. The local ticket machines just take cash too, traveling in Hamburg is the most inconvenient way that we experienced so far. In the end, we didn’t and just rode the bus. The ticket system is intransparent. Which ticket do I need to buy? local trip, short trip or single ticket? To figure it out the app needs your phone number additionally. Could not add the number due to server errors. Why do you need to phone number for me to figure out, which ticket do I need? Why not you are here, you want to go there, it’s this ticket, how many do you want? I didn’t know how such an easy thing, can be messed up that badly. Highly disappointed and a huge waste of time.

Thanks for so much for this app! You are offering PayPal as a form to pay for the Deutschland ticket and that allowed us to purchase it.
