1b. My timetable query does not provide all possible connections.

  • How to get there: Open Journey Planner > Select gear symbol > Reset options

We always show you the fastest connections between A and B. In rare cases, connections with disproportionately longer travel times may not be displayed - even if all options are switched off.

1c. I only want to search for direct connections.

  • How to get there: Open Journey Planner > Select gear symbol > Set transfer time to "at least 30 minutes"

By increasing your transfer time to the maximum, you prefer direct connections.

1d. I would like to plan more time for footpaths.

  • How to get there: Open Journey Planner > Select gear symbol > Set transfer time/speed

With the walking speed you can plan more time for the way to/from the stop. The transfer time at stops can also be increased.

1e. I just want to display barrier-free connections.

  • How to get there: Open Journey Planner > Select gear symbol > Set display or filter for barrier-free connections

The ZVV timetable app compares the platform height with the type of vehicle used. If access at ground level is possible, this is displayed after activating the corresponding option.

1f. How can I view a searched connection again later?

  • How to get there: Search timetable > Select connection > Select alarm button > Activate Single connection notification

If you activate the single connection notifications, it is stored in the main menu under "Connection notifications" and can be called up there again and again.

Another way to remember a connection is the calendar export.

Single connection alarm: You will be notified if the selected connection is delayed or affected by malfunctions.

For an overview of the activated connection alarms, select "Connection notifications" in the main menu.
