Questions about check-in, check-out & travel

When do I have to check in?

Check in before boarding at the stop. It must be a nearby stop, in order to be able to check in. If you check in too early or at a different stop, Salzburg Verkehr 2GO recognises the actual start of the journey anyway and calculates the ticket correctly.

Why are no stops found?

  • Because there are no nearby stops.
  • Because you are outside the validity area.
  • In case of problems, please contact our service hotline on +43 (0)662 632900.

What should I do if check-in is not possible?

  • Ensure that all authorisations for the app are enabled: The app needs all the required authorisations for location, movement and fitness data. Your mobile location must be activated – GPS must be active.
  • Ensure that mobile data are activated and available.

What happens if I forget to check out?

If you forget to check out, you will be checked out automatically, at the latest overnight. The journey should be recognised correctly anyway.

What do I have to do when I change?

Nothing: the change is recognised automatically; you should check out manually only at the end of the journey.

What happens if there are technical problems with my smartphone or e.g. if the battery runs out?

If you cannot show your ticket because of technical problems (e.g. no battery = automatic check-out), then you no longer have a valid ticket. A ticket must be purchased another way (e.g. from the bus driver), in order to be able to continue the journey.

What do I do if my ticket is to be inspected?

After check-in, the ticket including QR code can be opened in the app. You must check in before departure at the stop. Check-in during the journey or just before an inspection can be traced and is invalid.

Questions about data protection

Which data are recorded?

So that the route can be tracked and checked for plausibility, the app requires various data. These include location data, as well as the activity detected by the smartphone (riding, walking).
These data, which are needed for route recognition and best price calculation, are collected and saved only after the journey start is initiated (check-in). You can see in the app whether you have checked in and the movement profile is being recorded.
The following personal data are recorded when you register: forename, surname, date of birth, e-mail address, postcode, road, house number, town, telephone number, state. When the app is activated for journeys, the required payment provider is saved, in order to process the payments.

For how long are these data stored?

Your personal data are stored for as long as necessary in order to serve these purposes and as long as no other statutory retention obligations or statutory justifications for storage exist. This means we erase your data no later than on expiry of the statutory retention obligations, which are generally 7 years after the end of the contract. Information that we have obtained through use of Salzburg Verkehr 2GO will be erased no more than two years after termination of the contractual relationship.

Who has access to these data?

We keep your data confidential. Within our company, access to your data is limited to those departments and employees who required it in order to serve the aforementioned purposes. We send personal data to third parties if necessary for the aforementioned purposes and permitted by law or if you have previously consented to this. In addition to the recipients specifically named above, we need other service providers (data processors) in order to fulfil our obligations.
The following service providers may receive data.
