Munich's mobility app lost its bikes between one bike-share contract and the next — not to a technical failure but to a procurement complaint that reached a Bavarian court.

MVGO, the mobility app of Munich's transit operator MVG, sells MVV tickets and shows live departures alongside e-scooters and e-bikes from Voi and Dott, the region's MyRadl rental bikes, and the car-sharing locations of MILES, Free2move, SIXT and STATTAUTO. Renamed from MVG more on 21 February 2022, it absorbed the older MVG Fahrinfo München app in August 2024, lost its bike layer when MVG Rad reached the end of its ten-year term on 30 September 2025, and regained one when the regional MyRadl system opened on 7 May 2026.

Live 📅 since 2022

📊 Impact

More than two million people are registered in MVGO through MVG's M-Login as of 24 June 2026 — an MVG figure, self-reported and not independently audited. What the app books and what it merely displays are not the same thing: tickets, MyRadl bikes and the Voi and Dott scooters all have payment methods stored in the app, while the four car-sharing operators appear in it only as locations.

🎓 Lesson

An app is only as multimodal as the contracts underneath it. MVG Rad reached its planned end after ten years on 30 September 2025 and MVGO went without a bike layer until the following spring — not because anything failed technically, but because a losing bidder challenged the award of the successor contract, first in a review procedure and then before the BayObLG, which is the reason the city itself gives for the gap. The bikes that came back on 7 May 2026 are no longer MVG's: MyRadl belongs to Munich and 36 surrounding municipalities, is operated by nextbike after a Europe-wide tender, and is offered in the MVV and nextbike apps just as readily as in MVGO.
