Examples of use from practice

Employee A buys a Germany ticket with his mobility budget and uses this as a means of transport to get to work in the coming month. At the same time, he can also use this for private activities on the weekend.

Employee B enjoys cycling when the weather is good. On sunny days, he uses his mobility budget to rent a bike to get to work. When the weather is bad, he prefers to take a car and get it from a car-sharing provider with the flexibility of his mobility budget.

Employee C is always dependent on his car due to his living situation and poor public transport connections. He drives to work in his hybrid car and uses the mobility budget at the e-charging station to pay.
