Study Outlines Two Scenarios to Boost Saxony-Anhalt's Public Transport
A study by the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV) has outlined two scenarios to improve public storage in Saxony-Anhalt. The aim is to enhance services, keep traffic attractive, and serve more people effectively.
Currently, ticket sales cover only 25% of the costs in the region. The study suggests investing between 42 million and 77 million euros annually by 2040 to boost public storage.
The more affordable option involves eliminating maintenance backlog, converting buses and trains to emission-free drives, and introducing digital control systems. This would improve reliability and reduce emissions.
The more expensive scenario includes expanding streetcar and city rail networks by 40%, benefiting primarily Magdeburg and Halle (Saale). It also introduces flexible on-demand buses in rural areas. This expansion could benefit around half of Saxony-Anhalt's population.
Alexander Möller, VDV's managing director, emphasizes the goal of creating a public storage system that serves all people with better quality, more connections, and flexibility. Without improvements, people may question the state's ability to provide functional public storage.
The VDV study highlights the need for significant investment in Saxony-Anhalt's public storage. Both scenarios aim to improve services and reliability, with the more expensive option also expanding networks. These improvements could benefit a substantial portion of the region's population, enhancing the functionality and attractiveness of public storage.
