Why is a transfer bus being tested?
– To promote car sharing and thereby strengthen the destination’s sustainability work within environmental and climate perspectives.
– To test a digital service for booking and payment for transfers, where more ancillary services and collaborations can potentially be built on at a later stage.
– To inspire more visitors and residents to take part in all the nature experiences that exist outside the city.
– To promote the development of outdoor experiences in Östersund’s immediate area, for example with ancillary services that can be combined with the transfer solution to create collaborations for more companies.
– To contribute to reduced congestion at parking areas.
What happens after the test period?
After this summer’s test period, it will be evaluated from different perspectives, including feedback from travelers and companies involved. If the result turns out well, Destination Östersund will look at continuing with the Adventure Bus as a way of working.
