Timetable & fares
Every timetable departure sold on its own
For your route you set up each departure with its weekdays and season. Your ferry from Wittsiel to Nordersand might sail daily at 07:30, 10:15 and 13:45. From Friday to Sunday the 17:30 crossing is added. Your passengers see the arrival time of every departure and whether seats are left. For the popular midday crossing you charge €19.50 instead of €16.50. Bikes come along for €6, at most 12 per departure.

Seat reservation
Passengers pick their seat in the carriage
For your train you set up every carriage in the seating plan add-on. On the Heidetal steam train carriage 1 is first class, carriages 2 and 3 second class. Each class has its own prices for adults and children. Your passengers click their seat right in the carriage, for example 4A and 4B. No seat is ever sold twice. If you allow it, they change their seat later on “My booking” themselves.

Children, dogs and cars at their own price
For the ferry to Nordersand you set a fare for adults, children and dogs. An adult pays €16.50, a child aged 6 to 14 pays €8.20 and a dog €3.50. The car comes as an extra. You sell at most 20 of them on every departure. More do not fit on your car deck.
The vessel per departure sets the seat count
In the calendar you give every departure a vessel or a train. By hand or with a rule such as “the 17:30 is always MS Seeschwalbe”. If you like, the seats on sale then follow that vessel. With MS Seeschwalbe exactly its 250 seats go on sale. If MS Nordersand is still on its return crossing at 17:30, it cannot be assigned.
Departure day
Ticket checks with your phone
At boarding your team scans every ticket with the Activento app. If the Petersen family holds four tickets, the list counts up person by person. Without signal the app collects the scans and sends them later. At the ticket office you sell the seats still free online, cash or QR code. In Germany the register runs with a TSE. If you call off the 07:30 ferry for a storm, your passengers rebook themselves.
