Procedure details

Bundled on-demand transportation is a form of occasional transportation by car. In this form of transport, transport orders from different passengers are bundled along similar routes (individual seat rental). The company may only carry out the orders if they have been ordered in advance. In principle, transport orders may only be carried out within the municipality in which the company has its registered office.

In urban and suburban transport in particular, the company must achieve a fixed bundling quota.

The licensing authority determines individual tariff-related regulations (in particular minimum transport charges). It can also regulate further requirements for the transportation of passengers in bundled on-demand transport (e.g. obligation to return, service area, accessibility, emission requirements, social standards).

You can obtain the permit for a maximum of five years. A reissue is possible.

For further information on bundled on-demand transport, please contact your local district government.

The licensing requirements are regulated in Section 13 (1), 5a of the Passenger Transport Act and the Professional Access Ordinance for Road Passenger Transport.
