Go-ahead for ridesharing in Hannover: MOIA switches from service test to official operations

Today, exactly 300 days and more than 230,000 rides after the launch of its testing phase in #hannover, #moia begins regular operations of its ridesharing service. Together, 140 drivers in 35 vehicles, along with an intelligent algorithm, will offer #hannover residents a new kind of mobility experience. #moia considers itself a link between individual mobility and public transportation in the city.

The license that #moia received from the city of #hannover is valid for up to 150 vehicles. #moia will gradually increase the number of cars in its fleet to reach 150, making it the largest ridesharing fleet in Germany.

Depending on the results of an accompanying independent research project that will report on the effects of the new ridesharing offer on public transport and traffic interests, #moia could expand its fleet to 250 vehicles starting in the summer of 2020. Here is an overview of the key news items regarding the start of regular operations:

● The service area will cover about 90 square kilometers and, unlike in the testing phase, will include the areas Waldheim, Stöcken and Maschsee. #moia will continue to add more neighborhoods as operations progress.

● The initial user group will include the 3500 active test users as well as 15,000 new users. The new user group will consist of the applicants who had applied to take part in the service test in October 2017 but were not yet included.
