mitfahrscheibe
intermedia infrastructure for car lifts.
Cultivate a sense of value for our fellow human by providing a visible and recognizable visual identy and instrastructure system for  ride-sharing.

“Mitfahrscheibe” also means “take-a-ride card,” or more simply getting from A to B.

Why does nearly every car has only one or two passengers?



What
With the take-a-ride card a car driver can show to others, that he is up for taking someone with him. The product communicates while the car is parking and driving. Take-a-ride furniture and signs next to traffic roads are supposed to show people who are looking for a ride, that they have the possibility to look for it there. The letter „M“ stands for „Mitfahrscheibe“, this means take-a-ride card.

It got produced and executed as the first design project of intentionwithus.

Connected
A group of students from intentionwithus at Hochschule für Gestaltung in Schwäbisch Gmünd thought about concrete climate protection measures and initiated the project “Mitfahrscheibe” – an alternative and climate-friendly mobility system.

People offering shared rides can show it by displaying what we call “Mitfahrscheibe” in their car. People looking for a shared ride go to one of the shared-ride stations with the shared-ride disk in hand. Currently, there are five stations in the local city area, and they all display a green “M” label.

Not alone, but together ...

... from A to B
... establish new contacts
... protect our environment
... costs can be shared
... be aware of risks
