Fusion of transport associations: advantages for passengers in Saxony!

Görlitz, Deutschland - Public transport in Saxony is facing an exciting change: On June 27, the Zweckverband Verkehrsverbund Oberlausitz-Lower Silesia (ZVON) decided to join the Oberelbe Verkehrsverbund (VVO). This merger, which has already attracted many voices and opinions, could significantly change the traffic landscape in the region. The first decisions on this topic are pending by the end of the year, such as Aller-lausitz.de reported.

The heart of the new structure will be a common association meeting in which representatives from the state capital of Dresden, Görlitz and several counties such as Bautzen and Meißen will sit. This meeting has the task of making basic decisions, including the determination of a new tariff model. The Pro Bahn passenger association, which sees the merger as a positive step and demands the fastest possible improvements for passengers, also grants an insight into the upcoming changes.

claims and expectations

Pro Bahn has clear demands to underpin the integrative measures: Among other things, the expansion of the Plusbus and clock bus offering as well as the improvements to the bus connections, especially for regional railway line 64 between Hoyerswerda and Görlitz. This connection is of great importance and should never be canceled or shortened, according to the voice of the passenger association.

Another central concern of Pro Bahn is the creation of a comprehensive transport association for all of Saxony. The Free State of Saxony is asked to take the necessary steps to create a uniform public transport network. In the coalition agreement 2024, the establishment of a state -related transport company has already been announced, which is intended to take responsibility for a Saxony -wide composite tariff. These developments could be a role model for other federal states, according to Pro Bahn.

regional focus and future prospects

In addition to the structural changes, the information situation about timetables and connections is crucial. Interested parties can research on the website zvon.de according to the latest timetables and get information. This platform ensures smooth access to important timetable data and offers an overview of the various connections in regional traffic.

A comprehensive information card for the railways will be provided for the entire region of Saxony in the future, which is provided by vms.de . The aim of this initiative is to give users of public transport a clear overview of the existing resources and opportunities.

Overall, it can be seen that public transport in Saxony is on the right track. The upcoming changes, supported by clear claims and future -oriented approaches, could bring significant improvements for all passengers in the region.
