What is the swaxi?
 swaxi is the flexible ridesharing service of Stadtwerke Augsburg (swa) - a supplement to swa Bus & Tram. We offer you individual mobility according to your needs. Simply order via app and get to your destination without a fixed timetable. You enter your start and destination and the app finds you a ride in one of our car. After booking, we pick you up at the virtual stop and take you to your destination. Note: You need an internet connection to book the swaxi.
 Your advantage:
 With virtual stops you can use even more stops than with swa Bus & Tram.
 What makes the swaxi special? 
swaxi is a pooling service and therefore the route of the swaxi does not follow a fixed timetable. The route is determined by your trip request and the trip requests of other swaxi customers. You share a ride if other customers also want to go in the same or a similar direction. In this way, you travel sustainably and help to conserve resources. In addition, you will help shape swa's transport services in the long term. 
Contact:
 We look forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions, suggestions or problems, please send us an e-mail to: kundencenter@sw-augsburg.de.
