8 Munich s modal share Public transport very popular makes up a third of all journeys: 75% of year-olds use public transport on 4-7 days a week 42% of year-olds use public transport on 4-7 days a week Only 4% never use public transport 30.4% 12.7% 24.6% 25.5% 6.8% 26.5% 11% 24.9% 27.5% 10.1% 8

9 Sharing economy on the rise Current trend Sharing of goods rather than ownership Increased use of bike and car sharing Why is car sharing popular? More people now live in cities than in the countryside less dependent on constant access to a car Car less of a status symbol; owning a car is not sustainable Car in the city is a hassle: little parking space, busy roads All the benefits of a car without costs of maintenance 9

10 Adapting to a changing world - future-proofed and customeroriented mobility 10

11 New structures to create transit-oriented and transitsupportive development 11

12 Becoming a multimodal transport and service provider Project MVG as the overall service provider for multimodal transport Goals Better multimodal connections Improve relationship with existing customers Find new ways to potential customers Secure own stake in share economy 12

13 Carsharing and bike sharing Projects CarSharing: App displays both public transport stops and current locations of various carsharing cars; with the option of booking both through the app MVG bike sharing: to be introduced in 2015 Goals Improve the overall transport situation (each carsharing car replaces about four private cars) Alleviate problem of bicycle ban on public transport Sales through us: discounts for customers with travelcards 13

14 E-Mobility Current projects Testing hybrid and electric buses In progress Mobility hubs connect different modes of transport: public transport, bike & car sharing, cabs In the planning stage Integrate all products in our app (e.g. include charging stations) 14

15 Improving existing structures - new vehicles and infrastructure development

16 New vehicles Underground: C2-trains Tram: Avenio Low Floor Vehicles More space/ multifunctional zones Energy recovery when braking Passenger information system LED displays/ interior lighting of the vehicle and light strips (underground) Buses with trailers: Bus (40 ft) + trailer (37 ft) Low Floor Vehicles Up to 30% more space/ multifunctional zones Flexible solution for capacity problems 16

17 Bus and tram prioritization Project Improve punctuality and journey times Increase public transport s competitiveness How? Signal priority for buses and trams Bus bulbs in order to ensure priority for public transport Bus lanes/ tram tracks separated from road network Results Increased average speed + 22% (from mph to mph) Growth in passenger numbers Up to 26% (depending on line) Increased efficiency - $5.4 M operational costs/year - 14% vehicle requirement 17

18 Improving our infrastructure New underground Line U9 Reduce pressure on stations in city centre New direct connections, e.g. to soccer stadium Sendlinger Tor und Marienplatz Modernisation of station to improve accessibility and passenger flow and increase capacity Steinhausen Supporting the development of a completely new area Connecting existing households and businesses 18
