Die aktuelle Version ist im Pilotbetrieb. Wir arbeiten ständig an Verbesserungen und neuen Funktionen. In Aussicht stehen beispielsweise zusätzliche Zahlarten. VGN Flow ist die Einsteiger-APP für Alleinfahrende. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Du fragst dich vor Fahrtantritt ob Einzelfahrt oder Tagesticket? Mit Flow kannst Du nach dem Check-In / Be-Out Prinzip einfach einchecken und losfahren. Ganz ohne Tarifkenntnis. Die Flow APP lohnt sich für alle Alleinfahrenden, die nur einen Tag oder ein Wochenende im VGN-Gebiet unterwegs sind. Optimal also für Besucher, Tagesausflügler, Wochenendtouristen, Selten- und Gelegenheitsfahrer sowie Businessreisende. Also Öffi-Nutzende, die nur selten fahren, aber nicht auf den Komfort eines digitalen Tickets verzichten wollen. Basierend auf dem VGN-Tarifzonensystem errechnet die APP automatisch den Preis. Am Ende des Tages bzw. eines ganzen Wochenendes erhältst du dann eine Abrechnung über deine gefahrenen Strecken. So hast Du ohne Kenntnisse über den Tarif immer das optimale Ticket dabei. Wie funktioniert die smarte Fahrterkennung? -------------------------------------------------------------- Ganz einfach! In der App musst Du nur einmal am Tag die Funktion aktivieren und dich dann vor jeder Fahrt einchecken. Die App erkennt automatisch deine Fahrt, alle Umstiege und Fahrzeugwechsel. Beenden kannst du deine Fahrt entweder in dem du einfach selbst auscheckst oder du überlässt dies dem System, welches dich nach einer gewissen Zeit automatisch auscheckt. Damit das automatische Auschecken funktioniert, muss die APP wissen, ob man läuft oder fährt. Dazu benötigt Flow Zugriff auf deine Bewegungs- bzw. Fitnessdaten. Was zahle ich denn nun am Tag? --------------------------------------------- Du bezahlst nie mehr als die günstigste Kombination von HandyTickets für die gefahrene Strecke und auch nie mehr als ein TagesTicket Plus dich kosten würde. Probiere Flow im Pilotbetrieb doch einfach aus und installiere dir die APP! Schick uns gern Feedback an apps@vgn.de!
