Jelbi hopes to bring all of Berlin's transport options together into one platform

Within Germany one of the fastest growing segments is city transportation technologies as several companies compete to try and solve Berlin's traffic issues.

A new app went fully live recently, offering travelers a one-stop choice of options ranging from U-Bahn to e-scooters, making the city of 3.6 million one of the first to offer such a joined-up ‘mobility as a service’.

The app, called Jelbi, is run by the BVG transport authority and runs on technology from Trafi, a Lithuanian startup that built a similar mobility platform in Vilnius, and has partnered with Prague and Jakarta.

“Jelbi is a solution for people to move to shared forms of mobility - and to avoid a transport collapse,” Jelbi head Michel Heider said in an interview. The app’s name is a play on the German word for ‘yellow’ - BVG’s livery.

Rollout has been quick: BVG struck an agreement with Trafi in January and a month later drew a strong response when it solicited pitches from mobility providers to join the project, said Heider.

BVG required that partners be fully integrated into the Jelbi app - meaning that users can, with a single registration, book and pay for all of the transport options on the platform.

It did a soft launch in June, featuring its own metro and bus services, rail operator Deutsche Bahn; electric scooters from Emmy; car-sharing service Miles; and bicycles from Nextbike.

Now BVG is completing the Jelbi menu with its own on-demand minibus service Berlkoenig; kick scooters from Tier and conventional taxis from Taxi Berlin. “All forms of mobility will be offered from October,” Heider told Reuters.
