Flexible public transport: on-demand shuttles start in Landau and the surrounding area!
Today, on March 24, 2025, the use of on-demand shuttles in local public transport (public transport) in Landau and the Südliche Weinstrasse district was introduced. This innovative range of mobility aims to increase the flexibility in traffic and actively support the turnaround. As , the on-demand-shuttles are seamlessly integrated into the regional public transport tariff of the Rhein-Neckar transport association). The costs of the journeys correspond to the prices of a conventional bus ride, and it is possible to book them with the Germany ticket.
The offer is particularly aimed at outskirts and evening times to increase the attractiveness of public transport in less frequented areas. These shuttles drive environmentally friendly with an electric drive, which not only contributes to reducing CO2 emissions, but also does justice to the expectations of citizens in terms of sustainability. Passengers have the option of flexibly registering trips via an app or by phone.
promote flexibility and accessibility
A central concern of the introduction of the on-demand shuttle is to improve the accessibility of village districts. This initiative is presented as an important alternative to the car, especially in the evening, when the need for flexible mobility solutions is often larger. Minister Katrin Eder emphasizes the importance of such offers for the climate -friendly mobility transition.
The plans of the VRN also provide to extend the on-demand concept to other places in the network. The combination of classic public transport solutions with needs-oriented shuttles creates a future-proof mobility model. The digital booking options and the use of environmentally friendly vehicle technology are the focus of implementation.
further developments in public transport
The technology and operator company via ensures that these modern systems can be used efficiently via the app. Various other regional on-demand services such as "Hopper", "Heinerliner" and "Mainer" are already relying on this software. From January 1, 2025, passengers will have to register in the "RMV on-Demand 2.0" app, which should contribute to clarity and user-friendliness.
The project Odin-MP
Another step towards improved on-demand mobility is the ODIN-MP project, which is devoted to the optimization of networking and using these services. According to bmdv.bund.de , the goal of this project is the development of a cross-supplier on-demand adapter for the nationwide use. This would enable the aggregation and standardization of data of existing software systems and thus improve the use of various on-demand services and classic public transport services.
The project includes several phases, from concept development up to the implementation of the adapter. Participants include the Rhein-Main Transport Association service company mbH and various technology partners. With a total volume of over 3 million euros, this project is to be realized by 2027.
The continuous improvement and adaptation to the needs of passengers remains a central focus to ensure future -oriented mobility in the region.
