Västtrafik now announces an extension of bus line 758 and add GoCo as a new bus stop from December. An important step to facilitate travel to GoCo Health Innovation City, which is emerging in a rapid pace. The initiative has been formed in close collaboration between GoCo Health Innovation City, Västtrafik and Mölndal City.
- We have had a close and productive dialogue from start with Västtrafik and Mölndal City and we are incredibly proud and happy to get public transport up and running already. Investing at an early stage, before the majority of travellers are on site, shows a strong belief in the area. Together we now lay the foundation for a sustainable infrastructure enabling GoCo to become a natural part of Mölndal's inner city.
In February 2023, GoCo House will open, followed by the opening of GoCo Clinic and GoCo Care. In 2024, Mölnlycke Health Care's new head office is expected to be ready and in the same year, GoCo Living aims to be completed. When the entire area is completed, it is estimated to include around 8,000 employees, 350 companies and 450 homes. Establishing sustainable habits right from the start was an important starting point in the decision of the new bus stop.
- We continuously work to develop the public transport. Through the change on the bus line 758, we are creating new travel opportunities and we hope this will lead to even more people choosing sustainable traveling in the future. For community development and public transport to really go hand in hand, more collaboration like these needs to happen, says Lovisa Borgström, community developer at Västtrafik.
Mölndal City welcomes the contribution in public transport and has as a further addition developed pedestrian and cycle paths and ”Styr & Ställ”- stations in the area.
- The city of Mölndal has a very positive view on the proactive collaboration taking place between GoCo and Västtrafik. Getting well-functioning public transport at an early stage is always a challenge. The reason why we succeeded in this case can be ascribed to the good collaboration between the parties. In addition, we have secured a higher potential for an increased share of sustainable trips through footpaths and cycleways as well as ”Styr & Ställ”-stations in the area, says Tobias Johansson, strategic traffic planner in the city of Mölndal.
Public transport to GoCo
Starting December 11, the route 758 will include the new bus stop GoCo. In the following years, public transport to GoCo Health Innovation City and the surrounding areas will be further developed to meet the increased need for sustainable travel.
