Commuter Route Linz-Salzburg (A1, ~132 km): Earn extra on the West Axis
As of June 2026
Linz-Salzburg is about 132 road kilometers via the A1, a short and very busy route. This makes it ideal for taking items with MUVN and recouping part of your fuel costs. Salzburg is also the gateway to Bavaria, which is why this axis connects domestic and cross-border traffic. You do not need a passenger transport license. MUVN will launch in Austria in 2026.
Why is the short A1 route so well-suited?
Linz and Salzburg are relatively close to each other at around 132 kilometers, both located on the heavily trafficked West Axis. The frequency is high: commuters, business travelers, and weekend traffic are constantly on the move. High frequency means that often someone is driving exactly when an item needs to go, and that you can easily find a suitable job on a trip you are already making.
At 132 kilometers, the route is at the lower end of MUVN's sweet spot of about 100 to 250 kilometers, clearly within the economic range for a partial load.
What does this mean for your fuel costs?
Even a shorter route incurs significant fuel costs over the week if you drive regularly. If you take something with you on your trip, just one item can cover a good portion of your fuel expenses. You negotiate the price freely; MUVN retains a fixed fee of 3 euros per transport plus an 8 percent service fee, the rest is yours. Since you are driving the A1 anyway, this is a real advantage.
How do you get jobs?
You set up your trip in the app and indicate how much space you have. Suitable requests come to you, and you only accept what fits your route.

Salzburg as a bridge to Munich
Salzburg is not only a destination but also a gateway to Bavaria. Those traveling from Linz to Salzburg are close to the Salzburg-Munich axis, one of the strongest cross-border routes in the MUVN network. If you frequently travel west, you can combine both routes and make even more out of your trips. Cross-border, you are covered up to 10,000 euros across Europe with MUVN Protect.
Is the return direction worth it?
Yes. Both cities have active second-hand markets, so there is demand in both directions. Those who regularly commute back and forth can utilize both trips. In Germany, MUVN already has over 100,000 downloads and more than 17,000 active users (as of June 2026).
