Check-in/Check-out

The check-in/check-out function is a digital ticketing system that allows you to use buses and trains without purchasing a ticket in advance.

This is how it works:

• check in before the trip
• check out after the ride (or allow to check out automatically)
• The best price will be calculated automatically

Your advantage: You don't have to worry about fare zones or ticket types.

So that we can correctly record your journey, we need to know your location and determine from your movement data whether you are traveling on foot or by train/bus. Only if the app has access to this data can a valid ticket be issued to you. We assure you that your data will only be used for the purpose of journey detection and price calculation. You can find all information on data protection at www.L.de/datenschutz/verkehrsbetriebe/leipzigmove-app/.

The check-in/check-out function is suitable for everyone, especially if:

• you don't yet know how often you will be using buses and trains in a day. Your journeys are automatically calculated at the best price within 24 hours. This means you only pay for what you have actually used.
• you are not familiar with the fare zone. The price is calculated after your journey (after 24 hours at the latest) and does not require any fare knowledge.

You have the option to pay via PayPal, credit card (Visa and Mastercard), Klarna Pay Now (instant payment - direct debit via Klarna), Google Pay, and Apple Pay.

Your upgrade to LeipzigMOVE+ will naturally be taken into account when using the check-in/check-out function. The discount will be deducted when calculating your best price. Other discount cards, such as a BahnCard, are excluded from the function. You can find more information about LeipzigMOVE+ at Offers.

No, it is currently not possible to take children, bicycles, dogs or bulky luggage on board. Please buy an extra ticket or a children's ticket using the "Buy ticket" function in the LeipzigMOVE app or at the ticket machine.

The maximum price in a 24-hour period corresponds to the price of a 24-hour ticket for one person (adult or child) according to the number of fare zones traveled. This automatically calculates the most affordable price for you.

It should be noted that in tariff zone 110 (city of Leipzig), a 24-hour ticket is not available for a child. Therefore, price optimization is not possible.

If you forget to check out, you don't have to worry. Our system automatically recognizes when you are no longer travelling a route by train or bus or when there is no longer a stop near you and then automatically checks you out. Check-in/check-out only charges you for routes that you have actually traveled by bus or train.

No, you do not need to check out when changing trains. Stay checked in, wait for your connection, and continue your journey relaxed. If you have a particularly long wait for your connection, for example, due to a delay, please make sure that you are still checked in and that an automatic check-out has not occurred.

The following tickets can be easily charged to you via check-in/check-out:

• Single ticket adult (also for LeipzigMOVE+)
• Short-distance single ticket for adults (also for LeipzigMOVE+)
• One-way ticket child
• 24-hour ticket for one adult (valid in all MDV fare zones except 110 Leipzig)
• 24-hour ticket for one child (valid in all MDV fare zones except 110 Leipzig)
• 24-hour ticket Plus for 1 adult (valid in fare zone 110 Leipzig)

Note: It is currently not yet possible to take children, dogs and bulky luggage with a ticket using the check-in/check-out function. Please buy an extra ticket or a children's ticket using the "Buy ticket" function in the LeipzigMOVE app or at the ticket machine. It is possible to purchase an additional ticket via "Buy ticket" at the same time as using the check-in/check-out function.

The check-in/check-out function is available on almost all lines of public transport companies based in the Mitteldeutscher Verkehrsverbund (MDV). Journeys on on-demand services such as Flexa in Leipzig, as well as on flexible service formats that operate without a timetable (e.g., Rufbus Flex), are currently still excluded.

Special feature in MDV Nord (Wittenberg, Anhalt-Bitterfeld, Dessau-Roßlau): The check-in/check-out function can only be used on local transport trains. However, buses and trams are excluded. The transport conditions and tariff regulations of MDV apply. More about the MDV area can be found at www.L.de/public-transportation/tariff-regulations-and-conditions-of-carriage.
