The district of Harz and four regional taxi companies have collaborated to develop a concept and establish the harzbewegt taxi service. This new service enables passengers to reach remote areas where regular transport services are limited. Particularly in rural locations, the public transport taxi fills an important mobility gap and contributes to strengthening the regional infrastructure.
How it works:
When a passenger requests a journey via the harzbewegt-Taxi app, first the system checks whether there is a suitable public transport connection available during the relevant time period. If not, a harzbewegt-Taxi connection is suggested for booking. If another person wants to book the same route at the same time, they may be transported as well. Once the passenger has arrived at their destination, payment can be made conveniently via the app (by PayPal, credit card or SEPA direct debit) or in cash to the taxi driver.
Included regions
The areas in which the harzbewegt taxi operates are continually expanding. The map shows where you can currently use this service. Please note that the harzbewegt taxi will only take you to the respective bus stop. If you would like to be dropped off at your front door, you can usually continue the taxi ride from the bus stop at the regular taxi fare. Please indicate this request when booking the harzbewegt taxi in the app under ‘Comments’.
