About this site
ubahnhamburg.com is an independent passenger guide to the Hamburg U-Bahn. This page says who makes it, where the numbers come from and how we correct mistakes.
What this site is — and is not
ubahnhamburg.com explains the four lines of the Hamburg U-Bahn: every station with its real departure times, the connecting lines, what is around it and how long the ride into the centre takes. We are an independent information service and belong neither to Hamburger Hochbahn AG nor to the hvv. We do not sell tickets; where buying is involved we link to hvv.de.
The operator is always the authority. For engineering work, disruptions and short-notice changes, what hvv.de and the hvv app say is what counts.
How we work
The operator first, everything else second
Timetable figures come from the official hvv timetable data, fares from hvv.de, the step-free status from HOCHBAHN. Press coverage and Wikipedia are used to cross-check, not as a source.
What we do not know, we do not write
Where the operator publishes nothing, we say so instead of printing a plausible number. That is why you will not find invented lists of exits or lifts per station here.
No “real time” without a real-time source
The hvv publishes its timetable openly, but live operations only through an interface that requires a signed contract. Every time on this site is therefore a scheduled time, and is labelled as one.
Corrections are published, not quietly swapped
When we get something wrong it goes into the dated correction log on Where the data comes from.

Who is behind this site
This site is run by the team at GoRandom, a small group based in the Basque Country in Spain who do two things that go together better than they sound: travel, and build websites.
Hamburg is not yet one of the cities we have set foot in — we are up to twenty and we move slowly. We would rather say so than pretend otherwise: what you read here does not come from our memories, it comes from what the operator publishes and from checking work we can show you.
The other half of what we know how to do is web development, and this site is the excuse to put the two together. We do not leave it sitting there: every fare and every timetable carries its source and the date we checked it, and they get revised when the operator changes something. The last thorough revision was in August 2026: the single ticket was still listed at €3.80 instead of €4.10 in 367 places, and journey times now come from the hvv’s official GTFS rather than from an estimate.
He decides what goes up, checks the data before it does, and answers the email. If you find a fare that has expired or a timetable that no longer holds, there is a specific person to write to.
