Overview
- Transport authorities have confirmed that the Eezy-Tarif is now legally available to children and teenagers under 18 who can hold their own user accounts.
- Only a small number of apps already let minors use Eezy through parent-linked accounts, with the KVB app and VRS eezy.nrw cited as working examples.
- Most of the roughly 40 partner apps have not yet implemented youth accounts and plan staged updates in the coming months before minors can use Eezy everywhere in NRW.
- Parents can already create accounts for children and link a payment method such as a credit card or PayPal so minors can check in and out with Eezy, but this requires continuous app location tracking and a charged battery to prove a ticket during inspections.
- Eezy calculates fares by straight-line distance and protects users with per-trip price caps and a monthly cap no higher than the Deutschland-Ticket price, and strong early uptake has highlighted the need to resolve technical and border-limit issues for younger riders.
