District council decides: hourly cycle in Nuremberg region will be abolished!
The district council of the Nuremberg state decided today to abolish the hourly service in local public transport. This decision will have a long-term impact on mobility in the region, especially in the Lauf and Schnaittach area, where numerous bus trips will be canceled. The abolition of the hourly service represents a fundamental realignment of public transport, which also affects the rest of Nuremberg, but will not be implemented for another decade nn.de reports.
Demographic change is one of the challenges that contributed to this decision. Due to falling passenger numbers, especially in rural areas, local public transport is forced to rethink its offering. Again VDV points out, the decline in the population combined with increased private transport means that the flexibility and accessibility of public transport is limited in many areas.
The new mobility concept
The realignment of local public transport in the Nuremberg region will also include the development of new mobility offers. While the hourly service is being abolished, alternatives such as on-call buses, PlusBuses and minibus routes are to be promoted. These flexible forms of operation are intended to strengthen mobility in rural regions and take growing demand into account, as well Pommelsbrunner News reported.
The VDV emphasizes that there are already more stable or even increasing population numbers in many German districts and municipalities. This creates an opportunity for public transport to improve mobility in rural areas and win back lost passengers. The needs of the entire rural population - including the needs of tourists and employees - should be integrated into the planning for the mobility offer.
The district council's decision is therefore not only an adaptation to the acute challenges, but also an opportunity to make local public transport fit for the future. The citizens of the Nuremberg region must adapt to a changed transport infrastructure that takes the mobility needs of the coming years into account.
