Hoibe-Hoibe-Taxi: Value vouchers hardly in demand

In the first weeks after the launch of the Hoibe-Hoibe taxi in the Miesbach district, demand for the offered vouchers has been very low. In some districts, not a single voucher has been redeemed so far.

The Department of Mobility Development at the district administration office has introduced this model as a replacement for the call-collect taxi (AST). Young people aged 14 to 26, seniors over 65, and holders of a severely disabled ID card can now purchase vouchers for taxi rides at half price. The vouchers, worth five euros, are issued by the town halls of the respective municipalities. However, current demand shows that interest is still low.

In Bayrischzell, only one person has shown interest in the vouchers so far, but ultimately did not take advantage of them. Monika Müller from the town hall administration reports that all 600 vouchers received by the municipality are still available. In Hausham, on the other hand, the demand was higher, and eight citizens purchased vouchers, although the quota is still far from exhausted.

Not a single Hoibe-Hoibe voucher has been issued at the town hall in Irschenberg so far. Mayor Klaus Meixner attributes this to the fact that the system isn't really suitable for Irschenberg, as taxi fares for regular trips are perceived as too expensive. A similar reluctance is evident in Tegernsee, where only two vouchers have been sold so far.

In the northern part of the district, particularly in Valley and Weyarn, there is also little response. In Holzkirchen, however, 72 vouchers have been sold since early January, with six people each purchasing twelve vouchers worth five euros each. Annika Walther from the market community of Holzkirchen states that it is difficult to accurately classify the number as long as there is no comparison with other communities.
