With the new application it is possible to book a ride at any time directly from your smartphone. Passengers just enter the starting point and destination on the map and the app will automatically calculate the optimal route and show when a Stradibus is available. Moreover, it is possible to cancel the reservation in just a few clicks via the app. The intelligent algorithm by ioki forms carpools between passengers with similar starting points and destinations. In this way, the vehicles are optimally utilised at all times and relieve local traffic.
