T That is one thing, but whether a new business idea prevails on the market is another question. After the Volkswagen subsidiary Moia tested its shuttle service with VW buses in Hanover for several months with 3,500 subscribers, the company is now starting normal business operations.
The signs are good. The interest in driving with Moia was already so great in the capital of Lower Saxony during the test phase that it VW even surprised. The change in traffic is not just an idea of politicians; in the cities, more and more people are looking for affordable alternatives to traffic jams, parking lots and high exhaust emissions. Public transport is just one alternative, including bicycle-sponsored green driving, car sharing, and mobility services like Moia, which bundle customers with similar destinations.
If you live in the big city, you often do not need your own car, most of it just stands around. In Hanover, Moia’s project provides a first insight into the mobility of the future, which complements the classic offer of trains and buses. If the company should succeed in Hanover and in Hamburg from 2019 onwards, this will give a new impetus to the traffic revolution.
