Mobility in focus: NDR Info live from Hanover - experts discuss solutions!
On Friday, October 17th, Hanover Central Station will be the venue for NDR Info's big mobility day. This day is all about mobility in urban and rural areas. The live broadcasts start early in the morning at 6 a.m. with presenter Stefan Schlag on the radio and run until 9:45 p.m. in order to give listeners and viewers a comprehensive picture of the traffic situation in the north. NDR info reports that the program includes exciting conversations and reports from all over Northern Germany.
The focus is particularly on commuters in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, who are suffering from the complete closure of the Hamburg-Berlin train route. The innovative idea of a Dörpsmobile in Schleswig-Holstein, a shared electric car, will also be presented. Susanne Stichler also accompanies a commuter from Nordheide on her way to Hamburg, while Stefan Schlag is testing the expansion of express cycle routes in the Hamburg metropolitan region.
Discussions about the future of mobility
The event also offers space for discussions. Prominent interlocutors such as Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Olaf Lies and ÜSTRA boss Elke van Zadel talk about the need to back away from the combustion engine. Mobility researcher Andreas Knie will shed light on developments in the field of e-mobility. The results of a survey on mobility in the North, carried out by NDR, are also presented. This survey shows an increase in the use of the Deutschlandticket and growing dissatisfaction with transport policy.
The Deutschlandticket, which has been a cheap public transport option for a year, has increased public transport use by 9 percentage points. Particular attention is paid to the fact that 21% of respondents already have the ticket, while the use of combustion cars is declining slightly and the demand for electric cars is growing. Electric car news describes the changes in mobility over time and emphasizes that seasonal differences, such as increased bicycle use in summer, cannot be ignored.
New mobility concepts in the country
With regard to mobility in rural areas, the introduction of an on-call bus, which will run from villages to urban doctor's offices from October, has the potential to significantly improve connectivity for many citizens. These developments are no coincidence and are in the context of the MobilKULT project, which was launched by Fraunhofer ISI. Satisfaction with transport policy is examined and individual mobility habits are recorded in order to develop a better understanding of the challenges and options in the transport sector.
Overall, the upcoming event aims to highlight the current challenges of mobility in the North and discuss future-oriented solutions - a topic that affects us all and will certainly provide lively conversations.
