On the road with sprinti individually and flexibly
sprinti is the new on-demand service running in the Hanover region, Sehnde and Springe as well as the municipality Wedemark. The pilot project will for now be offered until end 2024.
Booking via sprinti app
You can flexibly order on call (by booking via sprinti app) a minibus to a virtual stop (a stop, which is located no more than 150 meters away from your requested collection location) and get to your desired destination. All you need is the sprinti app and a valid GVH ticket (except Short trip ticket) or a Deutschlandticket. The sprinti app is available for download in the Google Play Store or the App Store. Download the app, register with a few clicks and book your sprinti for the next journey or plan up to seven days in advance. A sprinti will wait for you at the desired pick-up time and location.
Please note that sprinti is running only upon prior booking via the sprinti app and represents an amendment to the existing spectrum of regiobus and ÜSTRA routes. If there is a local public transport connection equivalent to your booking inquiry, the sprinti will not be available.
