Uncomplicated and sustainable mobility without your own car: this is the goal of tim (daily. intelligent. mobile). The multimodal mobility offer of LINZ AG LINIEN has been available in Linz since autumn 2019 and the demand for tim has been growing steadily ever since.

Recently, the team headed by Oliver Pils was pleased with a great result: The (e-)car sharing service cracked the 1,000 marks among customers on its three-year anniversary.

Since its launch, the tim network has grown steadily. Nine locations are now available in the city of Linz and one in the city of Leonding. At the so-called nodes, customers can flexibly use (e-)car sharing in addition to existing public transport services.

“tim has really become a very popular service that can be combined well with public transport services such as buses and trams. Customers, whether private individuals or companies, appreciate the flexibility that tim brings: use and enjoy mobility without being tied to a car,” says LINZ AG CEO Dr. in Jutta Rinner.

Popular for all age groups

The innovative (e-)car sharing service addresses almost all age groups – from 18 to 85 years – in the same way, with 20 to 50 year olds currently the largest group. The average duration of use is around four hours and there is a strong trend towards (e-)car sharing. About two-thirds of the tim journeys are electric. The locations directly on the main square and the Volksgarten are particularly popular.

One success follows the next

The tim offer is appreciated not only by private individuals, but also business customers like to use the (e-)carsharing service and benefit from many advantages. With the LIMAK Austrian Business School, the mobility offers recently reached its 100th anniversary. Business customers welcome, and there are more and more. Companies are mobile with tim, depending on their needs, without having to own a fleet of vehicles. In addition, customers do not have to worry about Vehicle inspections sticker, Vignette & Co. Your own business card is available in two variants: You can choose between a card variant that can be passed on in the company and a personalized card variant for specific employees.

Tim also reached a special milestone in the early summer, when the million-distance mark was broken. Since then, tim customers have continued to travel diligently, with more than 1.4 million kilometres covered.
