Interrail Germany Mobile Pass

2026/09/17

It's very convenient to be able to freely decide when to take the bus and when to change your itinerary. Unlike before, when you could just show a paper form, you now have to register in advance using the app. Even if you decide to take the bus at the last minute, you can still register, but registration is still mandatory. Fortunately, the app also functions as a way to check bus schedules and view notifications, which is quite convenient and a new experience.
