Train, tram, Postbus, taxi, Uber or Mobility car: the app always shows the best option for the selected destination.

Mobility platform

Full overview with NordwestMobil

In 2016, PostBus launched the regional mobility platform NordwestMobil. The app is designed to make travel easier for residents within the Northwestern Switzerland fare network.

Whether it’s a Postbus, the trams operated by the Basel transport companies, a Mobility car or a ride with a taxi or Uber – the new NordwestMobil mobility platform connects them all. If you’re planning a journey in the greater Basel area, you can not only find information about it with the app, you can also book and pay for it. Once you’re on the road, NordwestMobil then provides information on delays and disruptions in real time, displays alternative routes where necessary and suggests special offers from partners along your route.

Promising pilot project

Not all features are active as yet, and the app will soon be supplemented with a website. PostBus also plans to bring additional partners on board. The project is in the pilot phase: interested test customers can register and suggest improvements to NordwestMobil. If the experience proves positive, PostBus will develop similar services for other regions.

A platform that creates convenience

There is currently no other comparable mobility platform in Switzerland. But given the increasing number of transport options, there is no doubt among experts that these will be relevant in the future: many travellers are not aware of all the options available and find it difficult to compare the services on offer. An intelligent platform that includes all providers creates transparency and convenience because all of the different provider apps are replaced by a single app. Working together with its partners, PostBus wants to be at the forefront in helping to shape the development of mobility platforms before international providers dominate the market.
