The city of Stuttgart pioneers a way of accessing transport and leisure services and purchasing in Germany. Know today what will be important tomorrow!

Anyone who wants to use a car-sharing vehicle requires a card, and if you want to pay you need a card, too. And with each card the thickness of your wallet increases. Working with numerous partners, the city of Stuttgart has adopted an ambitious project to enable a single smart card to make payments and access transport and other services – this has been developed by the company Exceet for the Smart City project.
