## What is Rheinbahn App & eezy.nrw?

The Rheinbahn App makes it really easy for you to get around by bus and train in the Düsseldorf area, throughout the VRR
(Rhine-Ruhr public transport system) and NRW.

Advantages of the Rheinbahn App:
• DEUTSCHLANDTICKET: It can be bought easily as a digital ticket in the App which enables you to travel flexible and cheap throughout Germany by bus and train. 
• DASHBOARD: When you open the App, your personal dashboard opens first with the main functions for travel around Düsseldorf by public transport (ÖPNV). You may customise the dashboard according to your needs, e.g. with an overview of the tickets you have bought and are valid, save your most important connections and lines in “Schnellauskunft” (Quick Information) or display the “Abfahrtsmonitor” (Departure Monitor).
• DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTION: You can manage your subscription digitally. You can also change any smart cards into a digital subscription with barcode.
• EEZY.NRW: If you only travel occasionally by public transport in the Düsseldorf area then choose the Check-In-/Check-Out-Tarif eezy.nrw. Simply check in with the App and check out again at the end of your journey. The fare is calculated automatically according to the linear kilometres travelled. 
• TICKETS: In the Rheinbahn App you have access to the entire range of VRR tickets, VRS and NRW tickets and, of course, also the Deutschlandticket. You can also buy tickets for your bicycle or first-class tickets. We have made it even easier for you to buy your ticket and you can choose from following ways to pay: PayPal, credit card (Visa, MasterCard and American Express) and prepaid (not possible with eezy.nrw).
• MULTI-TRIP TICKETS: They are now clearly displayed and you can see at a glance how many journeys you have left.
• TIMETABLE INFORMATION FOR NRW: The timetable information system that thinks for itself: in addition to the set favourites and your current location, the stops or stations you frequently use are prioritised.

• TRAVEL INFO (VERKEHRSINFO): To help you to get around more easily, Travel Info shows you whether there are any current delays on our buses or trains. We help you plan your journey better.
• INDIVIDUAL QUICK INFORMATION („INDIVIDUELLE SCHNELLAUSKUNFT“): Simply drag and drop the icons for your start and destination favourites and the next connections will be displayed. 
• DEPARTURE MONITOR (ABFAHRTSMONITOR): Here you can choose a stop or station and the next departures will be displayed. Thanks to the punctuality forecast, you know exactly when you have to leave.
• PUSH MESSAGES: You can set your favourite lines and times individually and will receive relevant notifications of delays directly to your smartphone. You’ll keep up-to-date and can switch to other bus or train lines so that you can get around more easily.

### 2/5 — 6th time - negative

*2026-08-17, version 1.24.2*

After three after three or four times entering my preferred Visa card, it continues to say error.  Was able to get American Express to work so I called Visa.  Vida said the issue was not on our end, rather on the website.  Not sure how this will play out, but I tried three more times, thinking that it would take my preferred Visa.  Never did.   Little frustrating to say the least.

### 5/5 — Absolute Rubbish

*2026-03-23, version 1.20.2*

The app is not intuitive.   When paying for a ticket in the app, I get a white screen that doesn’t go away.  This is just rubbish.  If you have an app, make it work.  It’s not like app technology is new.  But this is Europe and typically tech sucks in this part of the world.

### 1/5 — “No Active Payment Method”

*2026-03-04, version 1.20.2*

Absolutely does not save any information and leaves you having to constantly retype in your credentials over and over again. If insanity means “doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results” than this app is the definition of insanity.

### 4/5 — App ist gut, aber ein paar Verbesserungsvorschläge habe ich (auch nicht nur App bezogen)

*2026-01-20*

1. Am Einfachsten, vor allem für Touristen und ältere Passagiere, wäre es wenn man wie in anderen Ländern per apple pay oder Kreditkarte beim Einstieg/Ausstieg an einem Kartenlesegerät bezahlen könnte. Die Ticketautomaten sind zu kompliziert und die Touristen laden sich in der Regel nicht die App herunter (kennt keiner, kein englisch?)
2. Könnte man Redy, Flexy und die Rheinbahn App ja zusammenführen als One Stop Shop für alles was Logistik in Ddorf anbelangt.
3. Die Bahn Anzeigetafel/App stimmt mit der tatsächlichen Ankunftszeit nicht überein (Bspw. 707 an der Tannenstrasse ist i.d.R. falsch +-5mins.). Man könnte in der App per GPS auf der Karte anzeigen wo die angezeigte Bahn aktuell ist, um so die Ankunftszeit selber einzuschätzen, wenn die Genauigkeit nicht verbessert werden kann.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback. Wir freuen uns über die Verbesserungsvorschläge und haben diese an die entsprechende Abteilung weitergeleitet. Wir wünschen weiterhin viel Spaß bei der Nutzung unserer App.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-01-18, version 1.20.2*

Horrible app. Hopelessly confusing. No Apple Pay, full of bugs, Messe Düsseldorf line completely missing.

### 1/5 — ごみ

*2026-01-08, version 1.20.2*

値上げするのはいいけど引き落としなのに請求すら来なくて引き落としされない。電話もつながらないメールも返信遅い。ごみ。

### 1/5 — Unusable.

*2025-11-19, version 1.20.2*

Instead of just letting you buy tickets, it keeps asking for more and more and more and more and more information. It freezes constantly, and even after you’ve entered ALL that information, it randomly deletes it and makes you start over. Terrible.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-10-08, version 1.20.2*

Rubbish. Won’t let me put my credit card details in

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-08-11, version 1.20*

“Error with payment provider” about 100% of the time. What is the point of having an app when you can’t use it

### 3/5 — Ticket verschwindet sofort

*2025-08-05, version 1.20*

Ich öffne die App - gehe zu meinem Ticket Abo möchte es anzeigen - aber sobald ich auf das Ticket drücke öffnet sich das Bild aber verschwindet in nur 1 -2 Sekunden und dann muss ich die App komplett schließen - wieder das selbe Problem beim erneuten öffnen … hab immerhin Screenshot geschafft - aber ist natürlich keine Dauer Lösung… denke ich (Problem ist neu - IPhone 15 Pro) - sonst hatte ich nie Probleme mit der App…erstmal 3 Sterne für das Problem sonst 5
