- On-demand transport: ioki successfully continues to develop its solutions for local public transport: about 60 national and international mobility projects were implemented on the on-demand platform and in the area of transport planning. These include the current local transport plan for Wiesbaden, as well as restarts and expansions of existing on-demand transport services. By switching on call shared and scheduled taxi services to the ioki platform in several regions, ioki is significantly supporting the digitalization of DB Regional Road. With the new ioki Route product – a system for bus line navigation – ioki is counteracting the pressing challenge of the lack of drivers in the industry.
