Development Prospects for Bike-Sharing Services in Marburg

In the heart of Germany, the city of Marburg has been offering a bike and cargo bike sharing system since 2017. With 380 regular bicycles and 23 electric cargo bicycles distributed across 55 stations, the Marburg Bikesharing System has been a popular choice for residents and visitors alike.

The city is currently evaluating this system, and TINK GmbH has created a short survey to gather feedback from both users and non-users of the service. The survey, which takes approximately ten minutes to complete, can be found at easy-feedback.de/Marburg/1961660/N4Onq3.

The survey aims to understand how citizens use the service, where improvements can be made, and to assess the impact of the Marburg Bikesharing System on reducing car trips. It also seeks insights on non-users' reasons for not using the system and their suggestions for improvements.

Lena-Johanna Schmidt, associated with the City of Marburg, provided information about the Marburg Bikesharing System. The electric cargo bicycles, added to the system in October 2024, are designed for practical uses such as shopping, family outings, and picnics. They are suitable for large grocery shopping, family outings, or picnics in the park.

Participants will be asked why they do not use the system (yet), what improvements they would like to see, and if they have already replaced car trips with a rented cargo bike. The city is interested in hearing from everyone, regardless of whether they use the system or not.

If you require specific information about the survey or the Marburg Bikesharing System, you can contact the city administration or the responsible parties directly. They will be able to provide you with the details you need.

The Marburg Bikesharing System is managed by the City of Marburg, and the survey aims to ensure that the system continues to meet the needs of its users and makes a positive impact on the city's sustainability efforts. So, whether you're a regular user, a potential user, or simply interested in the city's initiatives, your feedback is valuable. Take the survey today and help shape the future of Marburg's bike and cargo bike sharing system.
