Use BMDV funding, for example, for:
A mobility hub is a place where people using different modes of transport come together, can transfer to other vehicles, share them (sharing), charge them, and also access various services. For example, someone who cycles and switches to public transport needs a secure bicycle box and a storage compartment for equipment such as a helmet, rain jacket, etc.
Ideally, everything can be booked and reserved via a central system. For example, more and more cities and municipalities at key transport intersections in the form of modern bike-and-ride facilities that can be centrally managed and reserved via app.
