Your place stays with you.

ViaFrei creates no account and no profile and does not store your place. Your browser remembers a place on this device only when you choose it in the place bar – a place or an address, “Use my location” or “All of Germany” – together with your recent places; while this page uses a remembered place, a line under the place bar says so, and “Forget place” deletes it at once. The page asks for your location only when you choose “Use my location”; if you have already allowed it permanently in your browser, this page reads it without asking and stores nothing. Your location is rounded on your device to an area of about 500 m, and our server derives the street or place name for it from that area; it keeps that name in memory for at most an hour per area, without any link to you, and does not store it. It keeps the name of a station, place or address chosen here in memory for at most an hour in the same way. Your IP address is used only in memory, for the approximate location, and is not stored for it. More in the privacy policy

6 % of trips in Bavaria more than 5 minutes late

Punctuality, buses and trains

current· 2 min ago

6 %of the trips observed in Bavaria were more than 5 minutes late

updated 01:40 (2 min ago) · last 30 minutes · 1,522 trips, 7,195 stops · 16 of 16 states reporting · Source: DELFI e.V. real-time data

Trips of the last 30 minutes, per federal state. Operators report a trip only when its delay changes, so the share is of the trips reported — few reports does not mean everything is on time.

The three biggest cities (by trips)

  • München 2 %2 % late · 200 trips · typically 1 min · 2 skipping a stop
  • Frankfurt am Main 6 %6 % late · 198 trips · typically 1 min · 0 skipping a stop
  • Hamburg 6 %6 % late · 147 trips · typically 1 min · 0 skipping a stop

Cities that form a district of their own, with the most trips in the window. The city is the district in the stop's ID (DHID), named from the BKG municipality register — derived on every read, stored nowhere.

All 16 federal states

Most late first; each bar is measured against the highest share on the list.

  16. Thuringia0 %0 %0 % late · 11 trips · typically 1 min · 0 skipping a stop

Trips are counted per state: a trip crossing a state border counts in both. The state is the AGS code in the stop's ID. 'Stop skipped' is trips that skip at least one stop — a detour, a closed stop or a trip ending early; a trip cancelled outright carries no stop in this feed and lies in no state. 'Typical' is the median of each trip's largest reported delay. Trips whose timetable gives every stop the same time are not counted: the delay reported for them is their travel time.

Trips of the last 30 minutes with a stop at this station, from the operators' real-time data. Operators report a trip only when its delay changes, so the share is of the trips reported — few reports does not mean everything is on time. Counted, not shown one by one: this is not a departure board.

To be honest: Places and addresses come from OpenStreetMap; every answer states the data date. What is not mapped there we cannot find — opening hours and ratings are not part of it.

Tell me when

No need to keep checking: ViaFrei watches for you and keeps every change in the conversation — your assistant shows it as soon as you ask, or by itself if it supports notifications.

Tell me as soon as a closure on the A7 is lifted.

What we do not answer

What we do not answer

  • No route planning — we say what is happening on the road, not which one you should take.
  • No legal advice — the rules answers name their source and review date and are information.
  • No price data to build on — fuel prices are consumer information, not an API.
