Why do I have to select one of the ticket shops listed when installing the app for the first time?
MOOVME is an app with information services and the option to buy tickets for local public transport (ÖPNV). This means we have to comply with the legal framework and specify a sales partner/ticket shop.

Even if you later want to view your purchases via your access to the MOOVME ticket portal “TICKeos” and, for example, print them out for billing purposes, it is necessary to create a user account and buy tickets with a user profile.
If you use the app without registering, almost all functions are available to you: You can find out about connections and also buy tickets.
How do I register in the app?
You can find detailed instructions here.
How current are the data in the app?
MOOVME requests the latest available data from your transit company with each information request. You will always have the newest information at your disposal:
- If available, the actual estimated departure times for stops and connections are displayed in colour behind or below the scheduled time in the timetable.
- News and reports about service interruptions for the MDV network are edited and are always up to date.
What regions is MOOVME available for?
MOOVME is available for the entire area of the Mitteldeutschen Verkehrsverbund (MDV), the Verkehrsverbundes Mittelsachsen (VMS) and all of Saxony (also the transport associations Verkehrsverbund Oberelbe (VVO), the Verkehrsverbund Oberlausitz-Niederschlesien (ZVON) and the Verkehrsverbund Vogtland (VVV)).
Connection information (train) can be queried nationwide. For this reason, you can also display ICE/IC and ferries in the means of transport selection.
What personal information do I need to share for using MOOVME?
No personal data is required for the use of these information services.
Buying tickets requires the input of your personal data and payment information, however. The type of data is dependent on the means of payment. For control purposes on train, S-Bahn, tram or bus your full name and date of birth are required so the ticket(s) can be issued.
Für weitere Informationen zur Erhebung und Nutzung personenbezogener Daten verweisen wir auf unsere Datenschutzerklärung in der App unter „Informationen“ → „Datenschutz“.

Payment function
What means of payment are accepted in MOOVME?
PayPal:
- works without registration in the app
Payment by direct debit:

CheckIn function
How does the CheckIn function work in MOOVME?
The CheckIn-function in MOOVME makes traveling by train, S-Bahn, tram and bus in the MDV area easier than ever! With just one swipe, MOOVME recognizes your trip and calculates the cheapest available price without you having to select a suitable ticket, buy it or enter the start and destination – even for several trips within 24 hours.
Before you get on the means of transport, you check in in the app and a travel authorization is generated that is valid for the entire MDV area. After you have finished your journey, you check out and the cheapest available price will be calculated for you.
How does billing work?
The trip will not be billed immediately after check-out. However, MOOVME shows you an estimated ticket price. Billing will only take place after a price optimization period of 24 hours.
An automatic price cap prevents several individual trips within 24 hours from becoming more expensive than a 24-hour ticket in the respective tariff range. However, if you also purchase a ticket via direct ticket purchase or via the connection search, these will be billed separately and no price optimization will take place.
Which payment method is accepted when using the function?
The SEPA direct debit mandate is required as a payment method for trips with the CheckIn function.
Which phone settings are necessary to use the CheckIn function?
In order to use the CheckIn function in MOOVME, the following data is collected or the following authorizations must be granted:

- In addition, you must grant permission to send notifications (including for assisted check out)
Who can use the CheckIn function and buy tickets?

How is the price capped?
The maximum price in a 24-hour period (optimization period) corresponds to the price of a 24-hour ticket for 1 person according to the number of tariff zones traveled. If you buy additional tickets in MOOVME that day via other channels (e.g. via connection information), these tickets will be billed separately and there will be no price cap.
In which means of transport can the CheckIn function be used?
In MOOVME you can check in on all vehicle lines of all local transport companies of the Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund (MDV) and start a regular journey. The conditions of transport and tariff regulations of the Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund (MDV) apply.
Which means of transport may not be used with the CheckIn function?
Trips in flexible modes of operation that run without a timetable (e.g. on-call bus Flex) as well as trips in on-demand services in the cities of Halle (movemix_shuttle) and Leipzig (Flexa) are excluded with the CheckIn function.
In which regions is the use of the CheckIn function excluded?
The use of the CheckIn function is not permitted in neighboring associations with transitional tariffs. If you have checked in within the MDV area and are traveling to a transitional tariff zone, you will automatically check out after a short time. For this trip, the last stop reached in the MDV is defined as the final stop.

What is the difference between “Purchase without registration” and “Purchase with user profile”?
MOOVME tickets can be purchased with or without registration.
If you want to buy a ticket “on the fly” and do not need any proof of purchase, buying without registration is the fastest way to get your ticket. The purchase is carried out immediately after you entered the required data and clicked on the button “Buy ticket now for € x.xx”.
In order to be able to view your purchases later when accessing the MOOVME ticket portal „TICKeos“ or to print them out, e.g. for accounting purposes, you must create an account and buy tickets with a user profile.
The personalization of the tickets is also more convenient after registration, because your personal data is transferred in the direct purchase (menu item „Tickets“), via the button „Go directly to the ticket“ and for the first ticket when purchasing via „Adjust ticket offer“. In addition, your tickets remain intact (saved in your account) in case you lose your phone or it breaks.
