1. Purchase tickets quickly
Press and hold the Ruter icon on your mobile phone. This takes you straight to ticket purchase – without having to open the app first. Perfect when you're in a hurry!
2. Adjust the pace
Are you walking slower than the app thinks? Go to Profile → Settings → Your pace and adjust your walking speed. This way, you'll get accurate times and won't have to rush to the bus stop.
3. Save your favorite journeys
Press Add new favorite. You can save stops and routes you use often, so you don't have to search for the same places every time.
4. Purchase a ticket for someone else and share via mobile
Purchase tickets for friends or family and send them to their mobile. Convenient when you want to help someone on their way.
5. Subscribe to a 30-day ticket
Go to Tickets → View details → Start subscription, and you're all set! The ticket renews automatically, giving you one less thing to remember in your daily routine.
6. Find and unlock electric scooters
Open the app and scroll down to Want to ride an e-scooter? Check off the providers you want to use. The scooters are displayed directly on the map, and you avoid having to switch between apps.
7. Use the Ruter app for multiple modes of travel
With electric scooters, city bikes, trams, buses, and the subway all integrated into your app, you can easily get to where you need to go.
8. Follow the bus in real time
Plan your journey in the app and tap on the bus. Select 'Follow on map' – then you can see exactly where the bus is. With the real-time feature, you get confirmation that the bus is actually on its way and exactly where it is.
9. Find the nearest bus stop
Enter your journey in the Ruter app. The app automatically shows you where the nearest stop is, and how long it will take to walk there. Handy when you're traveling to and from a place you've never been before.
10. See available bikes and scooters
Open the Ruter app and activate the city bike or scooter. The map shows you available bikes nearby, so you don't have to walk around looking for one.
Now that you've gotten a glimpse of all the smart features, it's time to try them out yourself. Test a tip on your next trip. Have a good journey!
