mobil info 8.0.13

The mobil info app serves as a valuable companion for navigating public transportation in the Soest district and Hochsauerlandkreis, now including Germany-wide access with the Deutschlandticket.

This app effectively determines optimal connections across various modes of transport within the region, including bus, train, walking, cycling, and car-sharing options with Stadtteilauto. Users can conveniently purchase tickets directly through the app for bus and train journeys, covering offers such as the Deutschlandticket, eezy.nrw, and WestfalenTarif tickets.

Featuring a comprehensive overview of connections, the app provides real-time information and pricing. It includes a departure monitor and route planning through an interactive map. Additionally, users can customize the app to suit their personal preferences.

The mobil info app replaces the previous accessible Soester BusGuide.

Since 2014, buses in the Soest district have been equipped with a mobile assistance system known as BusAccess®. This system includes a Bluetooth device that facilitates communication between a user's smartphone and the bus. For instance, riders can use their smartphones to activate the service or stop request button in the bus.

Within the radio range of buses operating in the Soest district and Hochsauerlandkreis, the app receives real-time information regarding bus line numbers and destinations through BusRadar.

The BusGuide app has been designed with user-friendliness in mind, particularly for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. It can be operated seamlessly with the VoiceOver feature activated.

The app allows users to receive guidance along their selected routes—from start to destination—by tracking their location even when they exit the app. This feature helps announce reached stops or upcoming transfers through voice notifications, along with ongoing status updates.

Utilizing pedestrian navigation with vibration or Geiger signals for orientation, users can safely navigate to their designated stops.

The app sources electronic timetable data for connection searches, ensuring that it can be used effectively across Germany's public transportation system.
