"Whenever the departure of a local bus or rail service
in North Rhine-Westphalia is delayed by 20 minutes
or is cancelled, you are entitled to take a long-distance train (IC/EC/ICE train),
taxi or similar transport service provider,
or use a car-sharing, mobility (rental bike or e-scooter)
or on-demand transport service instead."
Mobility guarantee
We promise:
Your money back if there’s a delay of 20 minutes or more!
We strive to take you to your destination as punctually as possible and, above all, safely. That’s what we work on every day. But no matter the effort you make, you can’t plan for everything, and traffic does not always run smoothly. That’s why even we may experience delays when vehicles are held up by unforeseen events.
Such events include new construction sites, accidents, technical failures, or badly parked cars so our buses can’t get through narrow streets. We want you to be content with our service nonetheless – that’s why we have joined the North Rhine-Westphalia mobility guarantee initiative:
Mobility guarantee: This is how it works.
Your bus or rail service was delayed by at least 20 minutes?
You can report the delay here with just a few clicks.
Do you have other questions on the mobility guarantee?
We are happy to answer them for you. Give us a call on +49 2173 9574-10 send us an email or come and see us at our customer service center.
