Interest in Postbus's on-demand service, which can be ordered easily via app, continues unabated. Passenger growth in the Styrian region of Liesingtal is impressive.
Over 3,400 passengers have used the Postbus Shuttle so far, which was launched in the Liesingtal region on 1 May 2022. While the start-up and booking situation was rather sluggish at the beginning, the number of passengers skyrocketed remarkably - by 400% to be precise. In the second year of operation alone, 3,000 people used the Postbus Shuttle. With over 300 passengers, April was one of the strongest months so far, and the trend is still rising.
The reasons for this are an ongoing system evaluation, the optimisation of operating times, which has resulted in more efficient vehicle use, as well as a fare adjustment and the use of the new barrier-free vehicle. This has enabled the flexible public transport service to be adapted even better to the needs of the citizens of the four Styrian municipalities of Kalwang, Kammern im Liesingtal, Mautern in Steiermark and Wald am Schoberpaß.
