<p> <strong> New mobility concept in the Weinviertel: Rails, buses and collective taxis combined </strong> </p>

In the western Weinviertel, there are significant changes in public transport. The Lower Austrian Transport Organization Society NÖVOG has announced that it will revise existing transport options through a combination of train, bus and call collection taxis. This aims to improve the mobility of passengers and make them more flexible.

A central element of this renovation is the introduction of electrically operated call collection taxis, which will be available on telephone or via which in front of Flex App. These taxis are primarily intended to serve the less frequented routes, for which the use of regular buses is not economical. Drivers and passengers can continue to use their regular tickets, such as weekly, monthly or annual tickets as well as the climatic, to use the call collection taxis.

Details about the project

The project is implemented as a pilot test approximately seventy Austrian communities and is designed for a term of eight years, with the possibility of extension to up to ten years. The financing is not only carried out by local initiatives, but is also supported by the state of Lower Austria. "We will continuously evaluate the progress of this project," emphasizes the Növog in a press release.

The planners are based on the already gained experiences in the western Mostviertel, where a similar mixing concept with call collection taxis has been tested in twelve communities since July. These pilot projects have shown that there is a high demand for flexible transport options, especially in the morning and in the afternoon.

In addition, findings from the Korneuburg district will flow into the planning. There the call collection taxi "Istmobil" had to register bankruptcy in May. In order to offer a seamless temporary solution until the start of the new project, the transport organizers are in close contact with those involved.

interested companies from the taxi and bus industry now have the option of applying for this extensive traffic concept as part of the ongoing tender. The NÖVOG thus relies on innovation and the creation of a modern local transport system that meets the needs of the population and at the same time is environmentally friendly.
