"People in and around Hamburg will have the entire spectrum of shared mobility regardless of buses, trains, ride-pooling or car, e-scooter and bike sharing services in their pockets on the HVV Switch app in future. We meet mobility needs with each new partner and are becoming a real alternative to private cars," said Henrik Falk, CEO of Hochbahn. More services like Stadtrad bicycles and We Share's e-cars will be added in 2022. Anna-Theresa Korbutt, HVV Managing Director, pointed out: "If more two-wheelers are included in the app as well as buses and trains, on-demand and car sharing, we can finally speak of a broad offer. I am pleased about every additional partner."
