Update from March 24, 2025: Due to the success of the first Bike+Ride facilities with Book-n-Park, several more group locking systems are now in operation at commuter train stations – e.g., in Bad Segeberg. And our web app for reservation management has been fully integrated into the official Nah.sh website: https://nahsh.book-n-park.de/users/login
Modern mobility in Schleswig-Holstein: The new Bike+Ride facilities of the Nah.sh funding program
Thanks to funding from the state of Schleswig-Holstein, €1 million has been made available for new, state-of-the-art Bike+Ride facilities – and many cities have already jumped on the bandwagon! Future-proof Bike+Ride offers tangible advantages for municipalities: it promotes car-free public transport, thus saving CO2, and also eases parking and inner-city traffic congestion.
Uncomplicated thanks to modular construction, framework agreement and simple digital administration
As the funding body, the Schleswig-Holstein transport association Nah.sh has designed its bike-ride program for efficient implementation: flexibly adaptable thanks to modular construction, and cost-effective thanks to framework agreements and fixed prices. Experience shows that municipalities benefit from rapid implementation and planning certainty. Furthermore, digital administration and refinancing models make it possible to keep operating costs pleasingly manageable.
The practice at train stations in Schleswig-Holstein: Book-n-Park in action for the mobility transition
Depending on the municipality, the Bike+Ride projects are currently at different stages of completion: In Tornesch (Image 1), the topping-out ceremony was recently celebrated in the presence of Mayor Kählert and Mr. Schulz, representative of Nah.sh (the local public transport company). The Bike+Ride bicycle parking facilities also include shared lockers with integrated compartments for helmets, rain jackets, etc. – the access control system and software are being provided by Book-n-Park. At Ulzburg-Süd station, our technical team is currently working on installation and testing (Images 2 & 3); the facility is almost ready for operation. At Ascheberg station, on the other hand, a facility from the first construction phase can already be seen in operation (Image 4). As you can see, the mobility transition in Schleswig-Holstein is really gaining momentum – has your municipality also jumped on the bandwagon?
