Questions
What ImTakt does, and what it doesn't.
What is ImTakt?
ImTakt is a free journey planner for public transport in Germany. Compare connections and departures in the browser. It is a product of AUVY GmbH, not Deutsche Bahn.
How do I plan a journey, for example Berlin to Munich?
Type origin and destination on the homepage; ImTakt suggests stations as you type. You get up to ten journeys with arrival, duration, changes and reported delays, plus how often each change worked over the last 90 days. You don't need an account.
Does ImTakt show delays and platforms?
Reported delays and cancellations appear when the realtime feed includes them, shown apart from the planned time. We don't show platform numbers yet, because the open data for them isn't reliable enough.
Is ImTakt free, and do I need an app?
The planner is free and runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install. Assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use the same data through the MCP server or the CLI, also without an API key.
Can I buy tickets on ImTakt?
No. ImTakt does not sell tickets or quote binding fares. Tickets, reservations and Deutschlandticket rules stay with the operator, for example bahn.de or the operator's app.
