What can nabogo do for your province and PTA?

Nabogo’s customers are not the users, but rather provinces and public transport authorities who want to improve citizens’ mobility, reduce congestion, and make a difference to the climate. When we enter a performance contract with a province or their PTA, the starting point for a successful implementation is a thorough analysis of the carpooling potential in the specific geography.

The consultancy Mobycon has mapped and assessed 24 European first/last mile solutions for public transport in the countryside. The study (in Dutch) includes concepts based on bicycles, minibuses, on-demand transport, shared cars and carpooling. Carpooling with nabogo is the nr. one solution in the study.

Fighting ‘mobility poverty’

Nabogo carpooling is designed to create new mobility – especially in rural areas, where little or no public transport exists. However, new mobility doesn’t need to be created in the physical sense – it’s already available in the form of empty car seats in traffic. Nabogo activates these seats, which in turn lowers the need for our users to own one or more cars. The derived effect by carpooling is typically even more customers for the buses and trains, as the overall mobility offer is improved for citizens.

Companies and business networks

Nabogo’s carpooling helps companies attract and retain talented employees by making it easier to get to work. The companies also get the opportunity to contribute to a measurable reduction in CO2 emissions. When carpooling has become an everyday habit, it creates and strengthens communities across departments.

Educational institutions

Young people in particular are very open to carpooling. Nabogo gives them a tool with financial, social and green incentives to help each other get to school. This way, more educational institutions become available, especially outside the big cities, and it creates and strengthens communities across school grades.

Traffic & parking

As an attractive alternative to buying a car and driving alone, carpooling reduces congestion on roads and frees up parking spaces, e.g. at companies and educational institutions.

Nabogo strengthens the range of public transport by integrating carpooling – and can thus retain customers who would otherwise buy a car.

Climate

Carpooling is the obvious choice when we want to achieve significant and measurable CO2 reductions as private cars make up a very big part of carbon footprints. It does not require new physical infrastructure or material production, but simply to utilize existing resources: the empty seats in private cars. A study from the Technical University of Denmark shows that carpooling is the second cheapest and most effective way to reduce CO₂ emissions in the transport sector. Nr. 1 is working from home.

What do our customers and partners say?

We are very happy to be part of nabogo, which increases accessibility for the individual and ensures greater flexibility between the villages in our municipality. It gives citizens the opportunity to get to know others from the local community, which can lead to new communities and reduce loneliness.

Congestion is a big problem in everyday life, and there is no doubt that many people also want to make a real climate effort. We cannot solve the problems alone, but in partnerships we have some completely different tools to crack the code. We believe this is the way forward.

Nabogo contributes to better conditions, a better environment and new experiences for our students. If you live on the outskirts of a city where there is not much bus transport, you can get from A to B more easily with nabogo. And then there is something personal about carpooling, because when you meet new people, you also get some new experiences with you.

What do the users say?

"When I accepted the job this spring, it was paramount for me that there is structured carpooling to and from work. Also, carpooling has proven to be a good icebreaker when getting to know colleagues, especially for me as a new employee."

"Before nabogo, I was used to picking up my friends on the way to school. But I never really got any fuel money, even though it's a relatively big detour for me to pick them up. The fact that we now had a payment system, and I could pick up more people along the way, led me to start using nabogo.”

"When carpooling, we talk about a lot of different things. I myself have gained a better understanding of some of the departments we have in our organization– and also an idea of who the right go-to-persons are to contact. Generally, it's positive that our workplace promotes carpooling."

“Nabogo is a good way to get to know others in a very informal and natural way. It actually made the person I started carpooling with switch class over to mine.”

"I’m always the one driving, so the payment is the most important aspect for me. Before I got a car, I had to leave 2 hours before school started to catch the bus. What I like about nabogo is that I can give others a ride so they can also sleep longer in the morning."
