• Start.info bot: When does the next line 6 depart? How full will the next line 1 be at Paradeplatz? Is there up-to-date ticker news? How do I get from Bismarckplatz to Paradeplatz? The Start.info bot answers these questions and more. It is an AI-based chatbot that provides all the information from the Start.Info app in the form of a conversation. The bot is available with one click directly via the departure monitor.
