Prignitz, Deutschland - in Brandenburg, the decisions of Transport Minister Detlef Tabbert (BSW) ensure excitement. The minister defends the cancellation of certain regional train trains in daily edges and in the western section of RB 27 on weekends. He emphasizes that some connections are only used on average by a few passengers. A journey between Basdorf and Wensickendorf comes to just two travelers, while a later train between Cottbus and Elsterwerda only has five passengers. According to Tabbert, an offer can only be maintained if it is also adopted by the passengers, reports [nordkurier.de] (https://www.nordkurier.de/regional/brandenburg/minister-beidigt-abbestrungen-in- manchen-zuegen-nur-zwei-zwei--3665178).

The cancellations not only cause consent. CDU traffic politician Nicole Walter-moutht expresses sharp criticism and warns of an impending isolation of rural areas. It points out that the route between Oranienburg-Schmachtenhagen and the Fichtengrund station is currently part of a reactivation examination. It is incomprehensible that money will be spent on a reactivation report at the same time while other routes are set. Walter-Mundt emphasizes that the reactivation of a route is far more expensive than the cancellation.

Interestingly, there is a decline of 3.6 %at the S-Bahn in Berlin, which corresponds to about 17 million fewer passengers. The reasons for this are mainly due to construction work and strikes. In addition, the sale of the Germany ticket has decreased slightly, since new offers such as the Germany semester ticket and the Berlin subscription lead to a shift in demand.

sustainability in public transport

The importance of local public transport is also underlined by the role of the member companies of the VDV (Association of German Transport Companies). These promote around 26 million passengers every day and thus replace around 18 million car trips. In 2023, they saved 10 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions, and the added value by the sustainable mobility economy in Germany is around 118 billion euros. This information offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges and possibilities with which the public transport is confronted with, and illustrate the need for a clever traffic planning to meet the needs of the population, such as vdv.de
