Via says it plans to modernise the existing service with its intelligent technology platform, increase the quality of service, and engage in an ongoing dialogue with users to ensure an enhanced user experience. The service will also be given a new name, BerlMobil, selected from suggestions submitted by users of the existing service.

As well as booking trips by phone and fax, digital bookings will also be possible in real time on the new BerlMobil website and a mobile app, allowing users to track their vehicle on a city map in real-time, and receive an estimated time of arrival. The fleet is also being updated with new vehicles.
