Major order for ticketing systems

IVU equips 210 vehicles in Lübeck and Travemünde. Another order from ORN Omnibusverkehr Rhein-Nahe GmbH. Over 400 orders for the i.box printer already received this year.

“With IVU, we can buy all the systems we need for planning and operation from a single source, which is a primary reason why we chose the IVU product,” said Willi Nibbe, managing director of Stadtverkehr Lübeck. Lübeck already uses the BON vehicle monitoring system and the MICROBUS planning and scheduling system. “Now that Stadtverkehr Lübeck has also ordered our ticketing systems, it is clear that our platform strategy – offering systems for all the requirements of a public transport company, from planning and operation to quality management – is the correct approach“, said Dr. Olaf Schemczyk, member of IVU’s execu-tive board.

Stadtverkehr Lübeck expects the investment to further improve customer service. In the future, passengers will be able to purchase tickets directly on the bus at the new Schleswig-Holstein tariff. Up to now, this was possible only at vending machines and ticket counters. The new price has been in effect since 1 April for bus and rail service in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg, using standard tickets. The i.box printer onboard computer from IVU helps make this innovation possible. The most advanced on-board computer on the market, it comes with an integrated ticket printer and complete ticketing functions. In the future, the system will handle all on-board computer functions in Lübeck busses by communicating with the control center and controlling all con-nected equipment in the bus.

Stadtverkehr Lübeck GmbH operates public transport service in the city of Lübeck and its immediate vicinity as well as ferries. The service will be distributed to 24 routes, 17 of which will be operated by the Lübeck company itself. Just a few days ago, IVU received another order for the i.box printer from ORN Omnibusverkehr Rhein-Nahe GmbH. This rail bus operator, which already uses IVU’s MICROBUS planning system, ordered 89 units. This brings the number of orders received this year for the computer to more than 400.
