Where is my Bus?!

Right here!

You want to take the bus, but want to plan your time better? Where is the bus stop, where is the bus you want to take and when do you have to leave to catch the bus on time? The hvv connection information in our hvv switch app now answers all these questions.

With the hvv connection information and the bus connection you have selected, you can now plan your journey by bus conveniently and without stress. You can see where the bus is currently travelling, when you have to leave and also when the bus will arrive at your destination.

How does it work? It's very simple.

You enter your destination and starting point in the hvv journey planner. The information will then show you various journey options with the hvv.

Then enter the bus connection of your choice. This will give you a map view that shows you your location, the location of the bus stop, your walking distance to it and the location of the bus you want to take. You can then use the map to see where the bus is travelling to and how many stops it will make before yours. If the bus has to take a diversion to your stop for any reason - e.g. due to roadworks - this will also be displayed.

In addition to the departure time of the bus, the information also recommends the best time to set off in order to reach the bus safely and when the bus will arrive at your desired destination.

Important:

  • Currently, the journey planner only shows you buses operated by HOCHBAHN. For example, lines such as the 4, 5 or 19. You can recognise HOCHBAHN buses by the HOCHBAHN logo in the doors. The display of other lines, e.g. those of the VHH, are currently being implemented.
  • There may be a difference of a few seconds between the display of the bus and the actual location of the bus.
