The regional and multimodal approach of GO Sharing ensures that they can offer a mobility alternative to the car and are a good addition to public transport. The company indicates that they are not yet able to do this in a profitable way everywhere, and explain the consequences of this. In their three-year existence, they have quickly scaled up with the aim of maximizing the benefits of shared transport. 

The focus is on supporting the door-to-door journey with partial transport to prevent the wasteful possession of a vehicle, which is not used most of the time. In the current economic climate, in which there is a lot of uncertainty in the market, investors are reluctant to invest in sub-companies.

With GO Sharing, everyone can contribute to a greener and more livable future.
