In the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald, there is reason to be happy: The district committee has decided to pay the payment of 3.3 million euros in order to further expand the call bus system. This decision ensures that the popular call buses such as the Ilse Rufbus and the Friedrich Bus in Greifswald as well as the connections in the Altkreis Uecker-Randow, Jarmen, Loitz and Demmin can also be a reliable mobility alternative in the coming years. According to Nordkurier The money is used for various areas: from vehicles to software to personnel. Nevertheless, those responsible must also point out that local public transport (public transport) is usually not cost -covering and that further grants may be required.

The district administrator Michael Sack underlines the importance of these funding: "Without this support, the call -up system would not be possible," he explains. The funds come from the state funds to the transport society of the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (VMV). This is a good example of how important public funds are to ensure mobility.
