marketing questionnaire
Hi all,
this term occurs in a questionnaire about customer satisfaction in the automotive industry. As I have no idea what it could mean here, the field could be wrong (you are invited to change it if you can think of a field that is more appropriate). Here is the phrase:
若xx只有回答1-2其中一项代步方案者，即服务厂只有提供一种代步方案，问:
xx substitutes the number of a question above this sentence. I googled 代步, but mostly found hits/pictures about 代步车. As I am translating into German, an explanation would be enough, I would not need the exact English translation. Any help is highly appreciated :-)
Thanks in advance!

代步方案=non-walk(ing) mobility/transportation program/solution
代=代替=instead of
步=走步、走路=walk(ing)
代步=(take sth. else) instead of walk(ing) to move/transportation/go
Based on the context that Inga offered, 代步 here acts as a modifier/an attributive, therefore:
代步方案 = a program/solution to take some other transportation means instead of walk(ing), where:
方案=解决方案
In short, 代步方案 = non-walk(ing) mobility/transportation program/solution

Reference:
代步= means of transportation
代 means "substitute"
步 means "step"
Therefore, 代步 holistically means "a means of transportation" (so that one does not have to go on foot instead).
