Get from A to B with RMV’s flexible OnDemand shuttles, whenever and wherever you need them. Alongside our buses and trains, RMV OnDemand shuttles offer even more mobility across the Rhine-Main region, digitally and on demand. Using the app, you can easily book a ride that suits your individual journey. The shuttles take you directly to your destination or connect you with nearby bus and rail services, reliably, affordably and when you need them. Our main goal is simple: to make public transport as easy and flexible as possible for you, including in areas outside the major city centres. With the OnDemand@RMV app, you can conveniently book all OnDemand services within the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund network: - DadiLiner (Darmstadt-Dieburg district) - Hopper (Offenbach district) - SiGGi (Groß-Gerau district) - Carlos (Main-Kinzig district) - Knut (Frankfurt) - mainer (Hanau) - LahnStar (Limburg) - Emil & TaunusFLEX (Rheingau-Taunus district) - Colibri (Main-Taunus district) - HeinerLiner (Darmstadt) - WiMobil (Wiesbaden) The app shows you exactly which towns and local areas are covered by each service. To travel, simply book your seat in the app. HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: ENTER YOUR PICK-UP AND DESTINATION We’ll immediately show you which vehicle can pick you up, where and when. BOOK YOUR RIDE The app guides you to a nearby pick-up point. This may also be a virtual stop that exists only within the app and is shown on the map on your phone. You can track your vehicle live as it makes its way to you. PAY IN THE APP As the service is integrated into the existing public transport network, your ride only costs a small surcharge on top of your RMV ticket. The exact fare for your selected journey is displayed in the app before you book. You can save your preferred payment method in the app and pay conveniently. RATE YOUR RIDE Once you arrive, the shuttle will drop you off at a physical or virtual stop near your destination. From there, the app guides you to your final destination. Afterwards, you can share your feedback and rate the service directly in the app. For more information about RMV OnDemand shuttles, visit: https://www.rmv.de/ondemand We hope you enjoy using RMV OnDemand and wish you a pleasant journey!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: RMVgo at 610 against OnDemand@RMV's 8. RMVgo also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 17%). OnDemand@RMV's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OnDemand@RMV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RMVgo has 610 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of RMVgo's written reviews are positive against 17% of OnDemand@RMV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RMVgo ships an update every 2 months, OnDemand@RMV every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
