What on-demand projects has PostBus run?

Active on-demand transport:
Verzasca Mobile (area transport in a valley corridor)

Completed projects
Kollibri Brig (area transport)
From August 2020 to July 2021, customers in Brig-Glis were able to test an on-demand service running from 9 p.m. to midnight. PostBus teamed up with Taxi Aletsch to provide the service, which was very well received and proved an excellent supplement to scheduled services.
Kollibri Brugg (area transport)
The first on-demand public transport project in Switzerland. PostBus ran this service in the Brugg region for one year from October 2018, in conjunction with partners. Customers often used the service as a supplement to public transport and were very satisfied with it.
SmartShuttle Uvrier (area and autonomous transport)
Two automated vehicles served the Uvrier neighbourhood in Sion at 17 virtual stops during the day. It was one of the first projects in Switzerland to combine on-demand transport with automated shuttles.
Cristal pilot project in Gland, VD
The Cristal project in Gland aimed to test a new service that complements existing scheduled services. A new type of flexible vehicle, the “Cristal” shuttle, was tested in various configurations: on a fixed route and in on-demand area transport.
