Miesbach's local transport before change: RVO separates from unprofitable lines!
Miesbach's local transport before change: RVO separates from unprofitable lines!
The district of Miesbach faces a fundamental change in public transport. By the end of 2027, RVO GmbH will return all concessions in the district. This means that a change from self -economy to community economy could bring new opportunities, both for the residents and for the responsible bodies in the district office. According to Merkur in September 2024 Bus line 368 no longer operated, but the emergency allocation could still ensure further operation.
The problem is not only due to the RVO, but is a structural one that affects many regions: the state financing of local public transport (public transport) reaches its limits. While the costs rise steadily, the compensation payments remain unchanged. The RVO has therefore decided to separate from unprofitable routes, which will have a major impact on future local transport in the region.
comprehensive planning for the future
The district office is already preparing for the takeover of the lines. You not only see a challenge in this, but also an opportunity to expand the influence and the scope for design over the mobility -relevant offer. A crucial measure will be the accession to the Munich Transport and Tariff Association (MVV) in December 2023. This step makes not only the allocation, but also the creation of timetables and the billing, whereby up to 983,000 euros in MVV directing costs were granted per year.
Of course, planning for future local transport requires time. The mobility team already works with high pressure on the tenders and will take about two years. Also significant is the recently completed local transport plan, which allows the routes to evaluate the routes based on new passenger movements. Particularly frightening are the additional expenditure for public transport, which in 2025 more than doubled compared to the previous year, to around 7.9 million euros.
legal framework and award procedure
When awarding service concessions in public transport, according to the EC Regulation 1370/2007 place. This has priority over the new legal framework and, among other things, stipulates that the operating risk does not bear the client but the contractor. A central aspect here is the distinction between gross and net contracts that significantly influence the financial structure of the award.
The award decisions are made based on previously defined surcharge criteria. It is also interesting that direct rates, i.e. awarding without competitive procedures, are only permitted in legally regulated exceptional cases. These processes are not only complex, but must also correspond to the principles of openness and fairness. While the provisions of the BVERGG 2018 apply in the road area, the PSO-VO is considered primarily in the rail area. The entire procurement process therefore depends on various factors and regulations, which must be carefully considered in advance to ensure a smooth transition.
In summary, it can be said that the coming years will be exciting for local public transport in the Miesbach district. The challenge of cutting old braids and bringing in new, fresh ideas could turn out to be a welcome valve for future -proof mobility. On this topic, Details
