Express buses between Leipzig and Chemnitz: Extension until July 2025!

Express buses between Leipzig and Chemnitz: Extension until July 2025!

Chemnitz, Deutschland - The express bus connection between Leipzig and Chemnitz is very popular and has now been extended until July 15, 2025. The Central German Regiobahn (MRB) informs that the buses run in the half -hour interval and without intermediate stops between the main train stations of both cities. This measure is intended to offer relief in particular during the main traffic times on the heavily loaded RE6 railway line, which in the past had to deal with train failures and overcrowded wagons. The travel time of the buses is about an hour and 20 minutes, and the regular trains on line RE6 continue to drive without changes.

But what is the cause of this additional bus connection? According to reports, a tense local transport Situation ensures that the chemnitz rail initiative demands more capacities. In the past few months, 24 train connections have been canceled on the route, which corresponds to two percent of all train journeys. Despite the problems, the punctuality rate of the route remains with respectable 85 percent.

challenges and solutions

The use of the ExpressBusse was requested by the Central Saxony Transport Association and is initially limited until June 28, with the prospect of a follow -up extension. In addition, from Wednesday, the bus will be increased to half an hour in order to meet the requirements of the audience. The connection between the two cities is therefore heavily frequented, and the buses seem to be a clever solution to defuse the situation while the MRB is working on a long -term solution.

more modern battery brackets were originally planned for use on the RE6 line, but cannot be put into operation as desired due to delivery difficulties. Instead, double -decker trains are used, but they also have some difficulties. All of this leads to a damper for mobility in the region.
