Abstract : The omnipresent trend towards sustainable mobility is a major challenge, especially for commuters in rural areas.
The use of micro public transport systems is expected to significantly reduce pollutant emissions, as several commuters travel
the first mile together with a single pick-up bus instead of their own car. In this paper, different aspects of such a micro public

transport system are analyzed. The main findings of the investigations should be how the travel times of commuters change
and how many CO₂ emissions can be saved if some of the commuters use public transport instead of their own vehicle.
