Operational Impact
The implementation of SSB Flex 2.0 has significantly improved the public transportation system in Stuttgart. The service provides city-wide transit coverage, especially in areas and at times where traditional public transport falls short. The new rider app introduced by Via has made the service more accessible, especially for visually impaired individuals, and has facilitated smooth communication between riders and drivers. The multimodal and intermodal integration has given riders a comprehensive view of all transit options available in the city, enhancing their commuting experience. The smooth system transition, facilitated by Via's advanced technology, has ensured continuity of service for the riders. | |
