  • Children and teenagers can easily jump back and forth between targets by simply connecting the icons on the jump board with their finger.
  • If the child selects a ride connection, it can follow the path step by step using a slider: Your daughter or son can see which line to take, when to change and how to proceed – and whether the bus or train is delayed.

Playfully easy in traffic on the road

With the new app “VBB jump” your child moves even more safely in public transport – and it’s child’s play. The app was developed and tested together with children between the ages of nine and 13. They designed the new application on the basis of qualitative analyses with numerous children and their parents and interviews at Berlin schools. A wide variety of factors were taken into account in the development process, including insights into the preferred routes and means of transport of young road users and their use of navigation aids and smartphones. Young passengers with VBB jump are thus perfectly equipped for local transport.

Reach your goal safely with VBB jump

The app is child’s play to operate. At the beginning, you and your child can watch and try out the tutorial together. The young users get a playful explanation of the functions of VBB jump.

In order to be able to use all functions of the app, we recommend that you enable VBB jump’s location determination. This will help your child to find his way from his current starting point to the nearest stops.

VBB jump should be as easy to use as possible for young users. For this reason, special functions (such as footpath routing on the map) included in the VBB app “Bus&Bahn” are not available. The development of the app together with children has shown that footpath routing is not yet understood at this age.

In order for your child to find the way safely, we recommend that you rehearse the connection together beforehand and also try out decisive changes several times. In this way, daughter and son can learn directions and paths – and at the same time experience the use of apps and smartphones.
