RIDE2RAIL
The RIDE2RAIL project created solutions and tools that facilitated the efficient integration of ride-sharing with scheduled transport services such as bus and rail.
Combining Ride-Sharing With Public Transport
By making it easier to compare and choose between multiple transport options and services, RIDE2RAIL sought to make ride-sharing a more attractive way to connect passengers to public transport services while also helping to reduce congestion and pollution.
The project integrated multiple public, private, and social data sets with existing transport platforms to establish ride-sharing as a complementary mode that extended public transport and rail networks.
The RIDE2RAIL approach was built on an inclusive vision of shared mobility within the transport network, supporting access to individual travel offers and fully leveraging social connections to make the service highly effective.
This service model made the RIDE2RAIL concept easily replicable at the European level.

Multimodality is key to ensuring a mobility system that is truly serving the passenger. By combining the strengths of public transport and ride-sharing, the RIDE2RAIL project seeks to increase the number of passengers using public transport, improve the rail connection with rural areas, and minimise environmental pollution while travelling.
