New FlexBus system in Moosburg: This is how the call bus works!

On January 1, 2025, a new on-demand flex bus system was put into operation in Moosburg. The official inauguration took place at the Aquapark and was accompanied by District Administrator Helmut Petz and Mayor Josef Dollinger. This innovative call bus system replaces the previous Moosburg city bus and offers a flexible mobility solution for citizens.

The FlexBus system does not drive on solid lines, but as required. A total of three minibuses are available, two of whom are designed for the disabled and offer space for up to seven passengers. The operating times are from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on weekends and public holidays from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The FlexBusse is ordered after a one-time registration via the MVV app, online or by phone.

Details on the FlexBus offer

The collection takes place at virtual FlexBus stops that are only approached for orders. The maximum waiting time should not exceed 30 minutes, and the walking distance to the stop is a maximum of 200 meters. The trial operation of the FlexBus system runs over four years, from January 1, 2025 to December 14, 2028. The entire offer has caused costs of 718,000 euros, the state granting a clipping funding, which is 65 % in the first year, 55 % in the second year and 35 % in the third year.

The FlexBus system is intended to represent a cheaper alternative to a newly advertised regular bus. In order to decide whether the system is expanded to the district, experience should be gained during trial operation and the passenger numbers and costs are analyzed. The exact process and further information are available on the homepage of the MVV Munich

The FlexBus system also offers advantages for families with children: children under the age of 6 free of charge, but do not need a ticket. These children must be accompanied by a person who is at least 6 years old, unless they are at school. It is also recommended that minors book themselves to obtain all the necessary information. Card views and live view of the vehicle are available during the booking, while all changes are communicated by e-mail for telephone bookings or bookings on the web.

The FlexBus system in Moosburg sees itself as a trend-setting step towards flexible and needs-based mobility, as well as reported.
