With electric citizens’ cars introduced in 2012, the town of Oberreichenbach in the Black Forest enables citizens to go to the doctor in the next village or to the supermarket. A resident has an important appointment the next day and no busses are running? By simply making a phone call, villagers can book a chauffeur service and be driven to their destination by one of 20 volunteer helpers. The citizens’ cars supplement the public transport offer from 8 am to 8 pm in the rural region, thus improving the local mobility offer. Drives cost between one and three Euros. The electric cars are recharged at a citizens’ solar facility at the Town Hall.
