A door-to-door journey planning app tailored to the needs of children has been launched by Berlin-Brandenburg transport authority VBB and developer HaCon. VBB Jump is designed to offer a simple and intuitive user interface that meets the needs and abilities of younger passengers. In addition to a child-friendly interface and clear structure, an always-visible help function enables a child to quickly and easily reach parents or other previously defined contacts via text message or a phone call. The app then automatically forwards GPS information regarding the child’s location and the phone’s battery level.
