Sharing stations
Flexible and sustainable travel to Messe Düsseldorf
Visitors to Messe Düsseldorf have several sharing options available for comfortable and environmentally friendly travel. The “Lohauser Deich I” sharing station has been expanded, providing additional capacity for bicycles and e-scooters on site. This makes it quick and easy to cover the last stretch between the exhibition grounds, hotel, or stops.
To make the most of the various sharing services, CMD recommends the Rheinbahn's “redy” mobility app. The app bundles the offers of the most important local providers – including lime, dott, voi and nextbike – and allows easy booking via a single application.
