Whether searching for a connection, delays, disruptions or train cancellations: many travelers on local transport resorted to the “DB route agent”.
But the app will soon be a thing of the past.
“Routing agent app will be replaced”: Deutsche Bahn aims for “better travel support”.
The app will officially be over on May 2nd.
The specialist portal

But the news is also already public in the Google Playstore.
It says: “The DB route agent app will be replaced on May 2nd, 2024.
We have made some final adjustments and would like to thank you for using our app.”
However , as Deutsche Bahn explained at

These include the connection alarm and the stop monitor.
In the long term, additional functions will also be added.
The goal: “A clearer and better travel companion.” The railway wants to present the expanded “DB Navigator” in mid-April, as the report states.

“DB route agent” is being discontinued – buyers of a Germany ticket should take action
However, if you bought your Germany ticket from a route agent, you should take care of a replacement in good time.
Because it can only be used there until April 30, 2024.
According to Deutsche Bahn, the subscription then ends automatically.
Because for technical reasons it cannot be transferred to another app.
You can subscribe to the 49 euro ticket from Deutsche Bahn itself, but also from many regional and local providers.
With a trick you can buy the Germany ticket individually.
