moBiel – Bielefeld‘s popular public transport operator

Carrying 43,3 million passengers over a total of 10.95 million vehicle kilometres in 2009, moBiel is the leading mobility service provider for Bielefeld, Germany, and environs. moBiel has won the nationwide TNS/Infratest public transport customer satisfaction survey four times in a row. The company of about 700 employees has ambitious plans: increase ridership rapidly to 80-100 million passengers by 2030, while keeping cost effectiveness to at least the current level.

Reducing both CO₂ and costs
Saving energy entails reducing carbon impact as well as reducing energy costs. In the effort to minimise the carbon footprint of its activities, moBiel aims to demonstrate that local action is possible and that Pan-European action is successful. The company regards the T2K project as a good way to learn what all public transport companies will need to know in the future.
