Over the weekend of May 4th-5th, the Weinfrühling wine testing festival brought cheer to the Southern Burgenland pilot region! As part of the H2020 AURORAL project, we once again put our Shuttle Bus App to the test during this popular local event.
With over 50 wineries and offering shuttle bus services, navigating through the event could be a challenge. That's where our Shuttle Bus App came in! Developed by LuxActive, the app served as a route planner, displaying real-time shuttle bus schedules and shuttle stop locations based on the current position of the users. This allowed users to easily plan their wine-tasting adventure and discover local wine producers.
This year, the Weinfrühling Shuttle Bus App reached over 1,500 app requests, helping more than 100 event visitors navigate their wine-tasting journeys. This innovative service highlights the power of digitalization in supporting rural areas, which is also one of the key focuses of the H2020 AURORAL project.
