When buying a mobile pass (mPass), you will receive an e-mail containing the mobile pass code and instructions for activating it in the Rail Planner app.

How to activate a mobile pass

Download the Rail Planner app to the device you will be using during your journey.

Step 1 - Add your pass in the application

Open the app and go to the "My Pass" section where you can add a pass by selecting the "Add your Pass" button.

Enter your name and the mpass number that was sent to you in your order confirmation email. You will also find the number on your receipt.

Traveling in a group

You can add multiple passes in the app, but keep in mind that once you activate them and start traveling, transferring to another device will not be possible. In this case, the group must travel together on all connections.

Traveling with child

Child Pass is not valid without an Adult Pass. Each Child Pass should be added to the app on the same device as the pass of the adult with whom the child is traveling. Children under the age of 4 can travel for free and without a pass as long as no additional seating is needed for them.

Step 2 - Connect the trip to your pass

To record journey details and access the pass:

  1. Create a new trip and give it a name.
  2. Choose the trip created earlier from the list.

If more than one pass is connected to your device, a separate trip must be created for each pass. If you've created a journey in advance, you can duplicate it for each of the passes.

You can easily add connections from the planner to several trips at once.

Step 3 - Activate your pass

Before you can travel, you need to activate your pass. To do this:

  1. Fill in the number of your passport, identity card or other document that you will be traveling with. A match between the document and the data entered in the application may be verified by the ticket inspector while on board.
