Can I transfer my ticket to another mobile phone (e.g. when switching to a new mobile phone) or to another person/Vy profile?
Yes, you can, although some restrictions apply
- Single tickets: you can transfer your ticket to a new mobile phone as many times as you want up to the day before departure. For zone tickets for local public transport operators, other rules apply – please see the section on zone tickets below.
- Season tickets valid for up to 30 days: you can transfer your ticket to a new mobile phone a maximum of two times per ticket.
- Season tickets valid for more than 30 days: you can transfer your ticket to a new mobile phone a maximum of six times per ticket.
- The Smartprice agreement is personal and linked to one mobile device. It can be transferred a maximum of two times during a Smartprice period if you e.g. change mobile phones during the period.
NB: if the season ticket has been activated, it can only be transferred between different mobile phones, not between different Vy profiles.
Transferring a ticket between different mobile phones logged in to the same Vy profile:
- Use the mobile phone that will receive the ticket.
- Go to ‘Ticket’ in the app.
- Find the ticket you want to transfer and click ‘Transfer ticket’.
- The ticket will then be downloaded onto the mobile phone and deleted from the mobile phone it was originally on.
Transferring a ticket between different Vy profiles:
- Use the mobile phone that will receive the ticket.
- Go to ‘Ticket’ in the app.
- Select ‘Add ticket’ in the app.
- Enter the reference code as it appears on the sales receipt.
- The ticket will then be downloaded onto the mobile phone and deleted from the mobile phone it was originally on.
The ticket can only exist on one mobile phone at a time and will be deleted from the mobile phone it is sent from when it is downloaded onto the receiving mobile phone. You can transfer single tickets to another mobile phone up to midnight the day before the train departs.
