Kleinmachnow protects local transport: Application for bus lines unanimously decided!

Kleinmachnow, Deutschland - The Kleinmachnow municipal council has decided to give local transport in the TKS area a strong thrust. An application was unanimously adopted, which is against the planned thinning of the regular network of the RegioBus Society. From June 1, 2026, many bus lines should be reduced due to rising costs. It is all the more important that all political groups stand together except the AfD and request the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark to maintain the bars of the most important bus lines.

reliable local transport is essential to reduce motorized private transport and to stabilize the passenger numbers (which have increased in the region in recent years). Mayor Bodo Krause is also commissioned to enter the district and the state of Brandenburg for the implementation of the current local transport plan.

The importance of local transport is also evident in the current passenger numbers. In 2024, around 1.56 billion people used local public transport in Berlin and Brandenburg. This corresponds to an increase of around 43 million passengers compared to the previous year, which means that passenger numbers in the region increased by 2.8 percent. An average of 4.3 million people are traveling on average daily, which almost reached the 2019 level. These positive developments make it clear how important it is to secure and expand the offer instead of reducing it. This is also confirmed by the [rbb24] (https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/2025/05/fahrgast- figures-oepnv-bahn-bvg-berlin-brandenburg-ahnverkehr.html), which illuminates the challenges of local public transport in the region.

post -connections and joint efforts

Another core concern of the application is to ensure night connections from the Berlin S-Bahn stations on all days of the week. These measures are particularly important in order to meet the needs of the population and to take into account the pleasant increase in passenger numbers. In the discussion it became clear that all municipalities had to pull together in order to work together on improvements.

• The most important thing: maintaining the bars of the main lines.
• secure post-connections from the S-Bahn stations on all days of the week.
• disclose passenger numbers and update continuously.

The initiative of the Kleinmachnower shows a clear direction. It is not only necessary to maintain the existing lines, but also to adapt the offer to the growing requirements of the population. The step towards activating local transport in Kleinmachnow is supported by various transport companies, such as the Regiobus Society, which already provides a wide range of timbers in order to serve the mobility needs of citizens as best as possible on regiobus-pm.

With a solid plan in the luggage and the commitment of everyone involved, the local transport network could not only be preserved, but also develop - for a profit for the entire region.
