500€ donation to Fitfty-Fifty Taxi

Get home safely with the "fiftyFifty-Taxi"!

Young people and their future are important to us! KIENER Maschinenbau GmbH is donating €500 to this cause.

For over 14 years, the "fiftyFifty-Taxi" has been driving teenagers and young adults up to the age of 25 home safely and cheaply on Fridays and Saturdays and on evenings before public holidays from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning in the Ostalbkreis district.

The Ostalbkreis district has had its own fiftyFifty taxi app developed for this purpose. Young people can download this fiftyFifty taxi app free of charge from the app stores for Android or iOS, register there and receive a kind of electronic authorisation card on their smartphone. They show this when they get into the taxi and activate the app. On arrival, the taxi fare, the number of passengers and the taxi number are entered into the app. The young person then only has to pay half the cost of the journey in the taxi.

Another advantage of the app is that it can be downloaded anytime and anywhere. This is of particular benefit to young people from smaller towns in the district. The app also contains a function that only allows it to be used at weekends from 10.00 pm to 6.00 am.
