„Researcher recommend dismantling in Germany’s East“ (Financial Times Germany, Friday, 24 July 2009)
the author refers to a survey of the Research Centre Berlin which shows how traffic in Germany is going to develop until 2030. The article points out that traffic is going to increase by 50 – 70 % remarkably in regions which are strongly structured as Munich and Stuttgart but is going to decrease by 50 % in structurally weak regions.
Out of this conclusion the demand is made to adapt infrastructure in a more consequent way to the different regions. Here, shifts to transports on rails to countervail traffic chaos, there change to minibuses and grouped cabs due to efficiency reasons. At this very point, the TAXMOBIL concept comes into action. The shift to transport on rails takes a lot of temporal effort and costs and is not going to be ready by the point in time when the demand will have increased. On the other hand, TAXMOBIL is placed exactly in the required area of grouped transportation.
In large cities and metropolises, many families will renounce their car mainly because of cost reasons. The local public transport system might be good although it’s connected to waiting and down time. Thus harking back to the car is senseless because of too long journey times. Anyway, TAXMOBIL helps also at this point with the door-to-door mobility.
Furthermore, you can suppose that the third-age generation - that’s to say those with 65 to 79 years - is going to be much more mobile than today. However, the cost aspect as well as the real financial situation of this generation requires a solution which enables mobility to a fixed and payable monthly price.
As a result of the study, you can conclude that research shows the way which TAXMOBIL chose as solution for traffic infrastructure.
