About NAHSHUTTLE

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: NAH.SHUTTLE 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.

  1. Select, if necessary, additional passengers.To do this, go to the “1 passenger” field and then add the respective passengers via the plus symbol. In this menu you can also select the discount for seasonal tickets and the wheelchair option. 
  2. After verifying the proposed route, click on “Book and pay”.
  3. The app will take you to your selected point of departure.

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).

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:

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 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.
