DB Connect
As a leading provider of networked mobility, DB Connect develops solutions for businesses, city governments and private customers. Modern sharing offers such as Flinkster or Call a Bike link rail and road efficiently and effectively. The digital products, such as the mobility budget Bonvoyo or
DB Curbside Management, offer companies and municipalities modern and individual solutions for implementing the mobility transition.
- Call a Bike became the first provider of micromobility to switch to a rental system with fixed stations in the cities of Berlin, Cologne and Munich in 2023. Due to the increased availability at local public transport stops and stations, Call a Bike contributes to reliable connectivity and ensures an orderly cityscape.
- Flinkster car sharing and the Flinkster network are part of sustainable mobility in around 350 cities. This was again honoured with an award from the German Institute for Service Quality in 2023. Until 2024, IT-related improvements will be carried out on an ongoing basis, adapting the booking, billing and lending to current usage habits and offering customers a modern product experience.
- Bonvoyo, the mobility budget as a flexible and sustainable benefit for employees, continues to develop. In addition to displaying the CO₂ emissions of users, booking of, among other things, Call a Bike and Flinkster vehicles, all long-distance and regional transport offers can be reserved and booked directly from the app since April 2023. Bonvoyo as an integrated employer-financed payment method is constantly gaining new customers via the switch app of the Hamburger Hochbahn together with S-Bahn (metro) Hamburg. Integration into other apps is in progress.
- DB Curbside Management has been in use with Curbside Cockpit in Munich since the beginning of 2023 and supports the city in implementing its mobility planning and the management of sharing offers in urban areas. Throughout Germany, DB Curbside Management is already being used at 30 stations for the digital networking of local transport and sharing services. Another 20 locations are coming in 2023.
