On-Demand, Under Pressure geht den schwierigen Fragen auf den Grund: Kann On-Demand-Verkehr jemals skalieren, ohne die Kosten explodieren zu lassen?  Und wenn öffentliche Verkehrsbetriebe es allein nicht nachhaltig schaffen – wer könnte einspringen? Fair, zuverlässig und zu vertretbaren Kosten? Diese Session präsentiert  gute Erfahrungen, schmerzhafte Erkenntnisse und mutige Ideen von denen, die versuchen, On-Demand-Verkehr vom Nischenexperiment zu einer tragfähigen Mobilitätsoption zu machen.

Diese Session bringt echte Erfahrungen, schmerzhafte Lektionen und mutige Ideen von jenen, die versuchen, On‑Demand‑Verkehr von einem Nischenexperiment zu einer tragfähigen Mobilitätsoption zu entwickeln.

From Germany

Short bio

My background is in tourism management. During my master’s program, I specialized in sustainable mobility concepts. Since then, everything I do revolves around the question of how meaningful mobility solutions can be implemented in everyday life. I travel a lot, have gained international perspectives, and now bring these insights into my operational work as a project manager for the on-demand transport service “kvgOF Hopper.” Instead of focusing on grand theories, I rely on pragmatic solutions: trying things out, scaling them, and improving them.
