Mobility on demand: mybuxi available in the Andermatt region starting July 3
Just in time for the start of the summer season, mybuxi is going into operation. The innovative combination of bus and taxi gives residents of the region, employees of local businesses and guests maximum flexibility – without needing their own vehicle and at affordable prices.
On Saturday, July 3, summer operations will commence for the Gütsch Express (Andermatt- Nätschen-Gütsch) and Schneehüenerstock Express (Oberalp Pass-Platte- Schneehüenerstock) gondolas. On the same day, mybuxi will be launched as a pilot project in the Urseren Valley. The electric cars, which are operated with eco-power, will be in service from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. The mybuxi offer is intended to serve as a complement to public transportation options. All drivers have a chauffeur's licence and are employees of and insured by mybuxi or a partner transport company.
Convenient, comfortable and affordable
A mybuxi vehicle can be ordered using the free app, which can be downloaded in Apple’s App store or the Google Play Store . The service can be used once the user has registered with his or her name, email address and mobile number. Users enter the pick-up time and location, as well as the destination, and select the number of passengers. Other passengers who have booked a trip in the same direction can join the ride along the way. This makes socalled “pooling” possible and assures that vehicles are optimally utilised. The entry and exit points are virtual stops that are visible in the app. Fares depend on the distance travelled and are in line with ticket prices for public transportation. The Andermatt/Urseren Valley region has been divided into three zones:

Membership is open to anyone who is interested. Dues vary in amount depending on the type of membership, as does the degree of say and participation.
