From June 1st, Germany will be rearranged. Some are waiting at the gas station for the discount, others are pushing their way onto public transport with a 9-euro ticket. It’s no wonder that the DB Navigator app is currently in great demand. But you should also use other helpers, for example to keep a close eye on train delays.
Public transport could become tight if the 9-euro ticket goes into effect on June 1st. The cheap flat rate for regional transport should attract many people to buses and trains who otherwise use other means of transport. You should plan for one or the other delay, after all, this also happens with the train without a 9-euro ticket.
The web app Marudor is a real insider tip because it shows real-time data about train departures in a clear list.
Delays to the minute
Delays and train journeys belong together. But that can be dealt with if you know what’s going on. Marudor displays real-time departure data, giving you a minute-by-minute view of delays. Simply type in the station and the web app will spit out the real-time data.
This function is worth its weight in gold when there is a lot going on again. In many cases, you will also see the reason for the delays, as well as lots of other information, such as the detailed route.
More comfort functions
If you not only use the 9-euro ticket in regional transport, but also travel long-distance by train, you will also get a few nice functions from Marudor.
The web app presents carriage plans with details on quiet zones, restaurants and WiFi availability. You can then position yourself perfectly on the platform. Don’t be discouraged by deviating train arrangements again.
Live alternative from the train
Deutsche Bahn not only offers DB Navigator, but also has other apps available. With DB Bahnhof live there is also real-time departure information directly from the train, but not as comprehensive as with Marudor, but with more attractive graphics.
The app covers 5,400 train stations and, in addition to connection options and parking spaces, also shows shopping facilities, toilets, lockers and the WLAN equipment at the train stations. The aim of DB Bahnhof live is therefore also to provide travelers with the most important information quickly and easily. If you often travel by train, you should get the app.
