Urgently wanted: bus driver for the traffic transition in the Rhein-Erft district!

The Rhein-Erft-Verkehrsgesellschaft (REVG) faces a challenge: The lack of bus drivers brakes the planned expansion projects in the Rhein-Erft district. In order to meet this acute bottleneck, the REVG has already organized a first open applicant day and a special recruiting day for women. These events that come up with information about the job options and the opportunity to drive a bus yourself should help strengthen the driver team. Financial incentives are offered to win new talents, as Radio erft reported.

The taxi company Henseler will take over further mileage for the REVG from November 2024. The cooperation will include journeys as part of the new on-demand offer "Kraftraum-shuttle" in Bergheim, in addition to the existing on-demand reversal "Mobie" in Erftstadt and Pulheim. REVG managing director Walter Reinarz emphasizes the experience of Taxi Henseler in the area of on-demand mobility as a decisive criterion for the award of order. The e-vehicles provided are converted barrier-free, which is particularly advantageous for passengers with mobility restrictions. The digital system, which optimally brings together the driving orders to ensure flexible and needs-based mobility, is particularly innovative, so revg.de .

The weight-compartment shuttle system is intended to offer a valuable addition to existing public transport through flexible transportation and, above all, increase the independence of passengers. There will be no fixed line toxins and times, instead an algorithm brings the inquiries together so that various passengers can be transported at the same time. Preparations for the introduction of the new system are already underway and are literally starting in Bergheim on November 1, 2024. This takes an innovative step in public mobility in the Rhein-Erft district and prepared for the time after the bus driver crisis.
