Case Study: Wittlich Shuttle digitizes rural on-demand transit with ioki

First digital call bus in public transport

The Wittlich Shuttle, a public transport service in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, faced the challenge of providing flexible mobility in a rural area. They partnered with vendor ioki to digitize their existing call bus service and integrate it into the public transport system, aiming to offer a better alternative for the first and last mile.

ioki implemented its on-demand transport solution, which included a convenient booking system via app and telephone. The results were highly successful, with the service seeing over 1,400 passengers per month and user numbers increasing by 400%. The solution also proved to be flexible, as it was extended to serve as a vaccination shuttle during the coronavirus crisis.
