“We are bringing HVV Switch car sharing into the outskirts. That will increase the diversity of urban mobility options in Hamburg," said Anjes Tjarks, Senator for Transport. Eight new HVV Switch points have been added in Bergedorf. More parking spaces can be found across the city with 69 in Hamburg-Nord, 39 in Eimsbüttel, 33 in Altona and 15 to 24 in Hamburg-Mitte, Harburg and Wandsbek respectively
200 HVV switch points added in Hamburg-Bergedorf
Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV) and Hamburger Hochbahn have put the 200th HVV switch point into operation with parking spaces for car-sharing vehicles in Bergedorf. The service now comprises more than 1,000 parking spaces and 22 rapid transit stops at 178 spots in the suburbs. So far this year, 50 new HVV-Switch have gone into operation and another 15 will follow by the end of 2024.
Car sharing now available on outskirts
Public transport with smart, needs-based services
Hamburger Hochbahn and HVV have continuously expanded the number of car sharing spaces at underground and railway stations and in suburbs all over Hamburg. The HVV Switch app lets users book car sharing services and find available parking spaces. The app currently bundles the services of car sharers Sixt Share, Share Now and Miles and users can also book MOIA trips and e-scooters. “Public transport is bundled and more diverse. That relieves our roads, the search for parking spaces and mobility is now more flexible," Tjarks stressed. The public transport system will gradually be expanded to include intelligent and demand-driven services, making private cars almost superfluous.
