NAHSHUTTLE is the demand-responsive transit service (ridepooling) offered by NAH.SH GmbH. It is a supplemental transport service to public transportation funded by the State of Schleswig-Holstein. The aim is to provide a central digital access point through which people throughout Schleswig-Holstein can book their demand-responsive trips. NAH.SH is cooperating with municipalities from all over the state to integrate their transit services into a Schleswig-Holstein demand-responsive transit app: NAHSHUTTLE.
Currently, NAH.SH and the State of Schleswig-Holstein are partners with three demand-responsive transit services: NAHSHUTTLE-Rensburg (formerly “remo” in the Rendsburg region), NAHSHUTTLE-Süderbrarup (formerly “smartes DorfSHUTTLE” in Amt Süderbrarup) and “Lüttbus” in Amt Mittleres Nordfriesland. The service partners include the counties of Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Schleswig-Flensburg, Nordfriesland as well as Amt Süderbrarup.
You’re flexible. Book NAHSHUTTLE when and where you need it. It saves you time. NAHSHUTTLE adapts to your schedule. One click on your smartphone is all it takes to book: NAHSHUTTLE picks you up and takes you directly to your desired destination. By travelling together with other people and leaving your car at home, you reduce exhaust emissions and contribute to a cleaner and greener environment. Some of the vehicles that use NAHSHUTTLE are also hybrids or fully electric.
Demand-responsive transit, also known as on-demand mobility or ridepooling, is the new and innovative way to travel on demand, using virtual stops and an intelligent routing algorithm to get you where you need to go while matching you up with people looking for a trip in a similar direction. All via a simple app.
To book a ride, you need to register once in the app. To do this, enter your name, cell phone number and email address. In addition, we need your credit card details, PayPal details or SEPA direct debit details to charge your fare. You can enter and change these details in the app menu under “Payment” at any time; prepaid credit cards are also accepted.
The app is available free of charge in the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
Once downloaded, open the app on your smartphone and enter your point of departure and destination.
Once there, look out for your vehicle. The app will also show you in real time where your vehicle is heading and its estimated time of arrival.
If you don’t have a smartphone, you can also book by telephone and pay in cash directly in the vehicle (only possible in the service areas of NAHSHUTTLE-Rendsburg and Lüttbus; you can only pay with a debit card in the service area of NAHSHUTTLE-Süderbrarup).
NAHSHUTTLE is currently available in German, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Arabic.
It depends on how many other passengers book a similar route as you at the same time. You can find more information about how many seats the vehicles in our partner regions have on their respective websites:

At the launch of SMILE24, travelers will still have to use several apps if a route includes different modes of transport (a so-called “intermodal” route): From summer 2024, the NAHSHUTTLE on-demand service will also provide information directly in the NAH.SH app.
If the NAH.SH app does not currently show you a connection from your starting point to your destination, you have been redirected here. Don’t worry – we’ll get you to your destination!

Background information: The NAHSHUTTLE is a supplement to trains and buses and primarily serves as a shuttle service to and from scheduled services. It travels on routes where there is no bus service or at night, after the end of bus operating hours, directly from your starting point to your destination. Unfortunately, this is not yet shown in the NAHSHUTTLE app. This means that in the first few weeks you can also book journeys where part of the journey should actually be made by bus. This technically innovative bus/train + on-demand linking function will be implemented as soon as possible! Until then, we ask you to only book the entire journey with the NAHSHUTTLE if you do not know whether part of the route could be covered by bus / train at the same time and a corresponding search would be too cumbersome for you. Otherwise, the NAHSHUTTLES will be tied up for a very long time until this technical bus/train + on-demand link is implemented, sometimes traveling parallel to the bus service. This is not our goal – and in terms of capacity, it also prevents other passengers who absolutely need the NAHSHUTTLE for a route. If you know (e.g. at night) that there will be no bus or train service, we invite you to travel the entire route with the NAHSHUTTLE – after all, that’s what it’s there for! We ask for your understanding, are continuously working on optimizations in the background – and look forward to making you mobile step by step and in the best possible way!
The SH fare applies for NAHSHUTTLE -Rendsburg, SMILE24 and Lüttbus.
Children under the age of six travel free of charge in all NAHSHUTTLE service areas.
The public transport tickets are valid in all NAHSHUTTLE service areas. For trips between SH fare zones, the price is automatically adjusted upwards accordingly

We strive to make our transportation accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or technical aids. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly and inclusive experience for all travelers. Many of our vehicles meet the technical standards for accessibility. You can select the accessible vehicles when booking your journey. However, you should be physically able to manage a small step into the vehicle or the wheelchair ramp. Our drivers will do everything possible to enable you to get into the vehicle. However, if you notice any barriers or have any difficulties, please contact us. We value your feedback and will do our best to resolve any problems as quickly as possible.
That depends on the service area you are travelling in. In the Rendsburg region, for example, two of the five vehicles have bike racks. Unfortunately, the app is not yet able to assign people with bicycles to specific vehicles. Therefore, if you have a bike and want to take it with you, simply call 0431-66019-93 NAHSHUTTLE-Rendsburg und NAHSHUTTLE-Süderbrarup) or 04841-675-55 (Lüttbus) instead of booking via the app, let us know and we’ll take care of the rest.
As NAHSHUTTLE is a supplement to public transport, the same rules apply, and this means that our four-pawed friends are also welcomed to travel with us. Please note, however, that dogs may only be transported under the supervision of a suitable person. Dogs that may endanger fellow passengers must wear a muzzle. A “single ticket – child” must be purchased for dogs. Guide dogs accompanying a blind person are always permitted for transport. Other animals may only be carried in suitable containers. Animals are not allowed on seats.

NAHSHUTTLE currently operates in three regions in Schleswig-Holstein: the Rendsburg region, Amt Süderbrarup (to be extended throughout the entire Schlei region as of March 29, 2024) and Amt Mittleres Nordfriesland. The boundaries for the service areas are clearly defined and the vehicles therefore only transport passengers within these areas.
In the coming years, we plan to enter further partnerships and integrate more service areas in Schleswig-Holstein into our app. Keep an eye out for your region to become the next NAHSHUTTLE partner region.
The demand-responsive transit service of NAHSHUTTLE started in August 2021 as “remo” in the Rendsburg region, which includes the towns of Rendsburg and Büdelsdorf, as well as the municipalities of Borgstedt, Fockbek, Nübbel, Schülp, Westerrönfeld, Osterrönfeld, Schülldorf, Schacht-Audorf, Rickert, Jevenstedt, Hohn and Alt Duvenstedt.
NAHSHUTTLE also operates as NAHSHUTTLE-Süderbrarup ( formerly “Smartes DorfSHUTTLE”) in Amt Süderbrarup in the County of Schleswig-Flensburg. From March 29, 2024 onwards, this service will be called “NAHSHUTTLE” and extend throughout the entire Schlei region.
“Lüttbus” is also part of the NAHSHUTTLE family and operates in Amt Mittleres Nordfriesland in the County of Nordfriesland.
The NAHSHUTTLE’s points of departure and destinations are either virtual stops or existing bus stops. Virtual stops mark specific addresses that are stored in the system but are not directly physically visible or publicly marked.
Before booking the journey, the starting point, i.e. the virtual stop, will be displayed. This is where you will be picked up. The end of your trip is then at a virtual stop near your actual destination. Over 500 virtual stops have been set up in Amt Süderbrarup, approx. 1,300 have been set up in the Rendsburg region and approx. 250 have been set up in Amt Mittleres Nordfriesland. The virtual stops are located at approx. 250m from each other. They are displayed in the NAHSHUTTLE app after you confirm your booking.
NAHSHUTTLE is not a taxi service. Even though we intend to include local taxi companies into our system, we transport people according to the laws of public transportation, which means that pick-ups and drop-offs take place at predefined stops, which also include virtual stops. All stops can be reached by foot within minutes. The use of virtual stops also contributes to the efficiency of the demand-responsive transit service.
Write us at busverkehr@nordfriesland.de or call us at 04841-675-55 (only for Lüttbus), email us at nahshuttle@nah.sh (for NAHSHUTTLE-Rendsburg), or email us at kundendialog.regiobusnord@deutschebahn.com (only for SMLE24) and we’ll help you find what you’re looking for.
Please note that we can process and reply to e-mails regarding lost property requests that reach us after 6 p.m. on Mondays to Fridays and on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays on the following working day at the earliest.
After downloading the app, the user enters the requested user data as part of the registration process. This involves data such as name, e-mail, cell phone number, payment data and, if applicable, special requirements (e.g., wheelchair user).
