Approximately 200,000 passengers have used the "Sprinti" minibus service in the Hannover region over the past two months. The minibuses, which can be booked via an app, have been operating comprehensively in the twelve municipalities of fare zone C in the GVH network since the beginning of December. According to the Hannover region, an average of around 3,200 people used the service daily, with peak days seeing even more than 4,000.

"These are numbers that absolutely excite me. And numbers that show that we are absolutely right in our thinking to complement public transport in the outer municipalities of the Hannover region with an on-demand system," emphasized Regional President Steffen Krach (SPD).

Germany’s Largest On-Demand Public Transport System

According to the region, the Sprinti is Germany's largest on-demand public transport system. It is primarily aimed at customers in the more rural areas of the region, where regular bus and train connections are not as well developed. The electrically operated minibus is booked via an app and stops no more than 200 meters away from the passenger.
