General information on Jelbi
Jelbi is a project run by the BVG in association with a number of partners. We offer, develop, and link up ways to get around in Berlin.
Jelbi takes mobility beyond traditional public transport, for the first time bundling together public transport and shared services. All of them are conveniently linked up in a single app. From journey planning information to booking and payment. All in the Jelbi app.
Jelbi stations are the analogue twins of the digital app. They make it possible to flexibly book, use, and combine locally available services in the Jelbi app.
Jelbi is growing – what you can do with it is steadily increasing. Right now, the following partners can be booked in the Jelbi app:
- public transport – VBB tickets for Berlin fare zones A, B, and C
- free-floating car sharing – MILES
- station-based car sharing – mobileeee
- bike sharing – nextbike and Lime
- e-moped sharing – emmy and TIER
- e-scooter sharing – TIER, Voi, Lime and Bird
- ride sharing – BerlKönig
- taxi – Taxi Berlin
Many more providers will be coming soon!
You can download the app from the AppStore (iOS) and the PlayStore (Android).
Getting started and sign-up
Already have an account for the BVG Tickets app or the Fahrinfo app? Then you can simply sign in with the same email address and password you use for them..
OR
Sign up as a new user – enter your email address and choose a password. The BVG will then send you an email. Please click on the link in it and enter further required information in the app:
- your personal information.
- your mobile number; a text message with a 4-digit code will be sent to verify this number.
- payment method (credit card, SEPA direct debit, or PayPal)
