VKU

VKU is a real-time navigation app for buses, trains, and bikes across Germany, combining journey planning with integrated ticket purchase. Start your trip by entering your departure point and destination, and the app displays all available connections with current travel times, transfers, and ticket prices in seconds.

Plan journeys your way. Choose your preferred transport mix — bus only, train only, bike only, or any combination with walking segments. The app calculates routes based on your preferences and navigates you turn-by-turn to your destination. You can purchase WestfalenTarif tickets directly in the app, subscribe to Deutschlandticket for unlimited regional travel, or use eezy.NRW via check-in/check-out for flexible pay-as-you-go journeys.

Find and book bikes instantly. All bike stations in the Unna district appear on the map with real-time availability. Reserve and book rental bikes directly through the app without switching between services.

Stay informed about disruptions. Real-time alerts notify you of delays, cancellations, and service changes across local public transport, so you can adjust your route immediately if needed. The departure monitor shows live updates for your chosen stop or station.

Full accessibility support makes navigation inclusive. The app works seamlessly with voice-over for blind and visually impaired users, with complete voice navigation and audible turn-by-turn directions. Pedestrian navigation guides you safely to your stop using a bearing function that provides vibration or sound signals to indicate the correct direction. The app alerts you when upcoming turns approach and confirms your arrival when you reach your destination (at 30 meters and 10 meters out).

Use it nationwide. The app pulls live timetable data, so connection searches work across all of Germany, not just the Unna district. This makes VKU a companion for local commutes, day trips, and longer travels.

Whether you commute daily, explore new areas, or travel occasionally, VKU simplifies multimodal journeys by putting all transport options, ticket choices, and navigation in one app.
