General Information

The Citizen Bus is a community mobility service for people in Dettingen an der Erms. Its goal is to improve everyday mobility, particularly in areas where conventional public transport is only limitedly available.

The Citizen Bus complements existing bus routes and helps make it easier to reach important destinations such as doctors, shopping facilities, meeting points, or public institutions.

This service is open to everyone who wants to remain mobile in a flexible and straightforward manner. In particular, it benefits:

• Older people
• People without their own car
• People with limited mobility
• Young people
• Families
• Residents in poorly connected local areas

The BürgerBus is generally open to everyone.

The Citizen Bus is a complementary, community-oriented mobility solution. Unlike conventional route-based public transport, it offers greater flexibility and is more closely aligned with the actual needs of local residents.

Depending on the specific model, trips may be provided on demand or upon prior booking.

The BürgerBus is organized and operated by the Bürgerforum Buchhalde Dettingen gUG – with the support of the Gemeindeverwaltung Dettingen an der Erms.

This project is a community mobility service from Dettingen an der Erms for the residents of Dettingen an der Erms. The goal is to reliably, simply, and socially connect people in their daily lives.

The Bürgerforum Buchhalde Dettingen gUG is particularly committed to:

• organizing the BürgerBus service

• coordinating trips and processes

• recruiting and supporting volunteer drivers

• further developing sustainable mobility options

• collaborating with local partners and institutions

The Gemeindeverwaltung Dettingen an der Erms supports the project as an important municipal partner. Through this cooperation, the BürgerBus can be established and further developed as a long-term complementary mobility option for the citizens.

The BürgerBus also thrives on the engagement of many people locally:

• supporters

• local businesses and partners

• engaged citizens

Together, this creates a modern, social, and sustainable mobility project for Dettingen an der Erms and the surrounding area.
