Latest reviews of VBB Bus & Bahn: Routenplaner app for iPhone and iPad
Buggy and poorly thought-out interface from VBB (especially for ticket purchases, which often fail to go through), do yourself a favor and just get the BVG app!
I dont know how I would live without this app !! :-)
Now I wont pass the S-Bahn again
Absolutely necessary for any foreigner in Berlin.
I would be lost without this app! I use it several times a day and it has saved me tons of time. Im sure its helpful for tourists but as a resident its absolutely necessary to avoid wasting time going the long way.
