Petition for bus line M in Meißen: Citizens fight for transport connections!

There is currently a lot of excitement in the Meißen district: the popular bus line M between Meißen-Stadt and Moritzburg is to be discontinued at the end of the year. Numerous commuters, families and also tourists who rely on this connection are affected. The loss of line M not only makes access to the historic Albrechtsburg and Moritzburg Castle more difficult, but also highlights the growing gap between the financial requirements of municipalities and the possibilities of local public transport in rural areas. That's what she reports Saxon.

In order to avert the decision, committed citizen Melanie Keller launched a petition that has already collected over 420 signatures. Your petition will be ceremoniously handed over to District Administrator Ralf Hänsel on November 5th. “It is important that our voices are heard,” explains Keller, who is committed to a sustainable solution in local public transport.

Dispute over alternative financing models

Alternative financing models are already being discussed in the community. A possible guest tax could help finance local transport in the district, which creates new hope for the connection and thus for the population concerned. Discussions about this are already underway, but no concrete results are yet in sight.

The last trip on line M took place the day before, so time is running out to reverse the decision. People's concerns and worries are clear: many feel left behind by public transport and fear that the region could lose its attractiveness.

In conclusion, it can be said that the situation for those affected is anything but rosy, and every customer who was dependent on the M line has lost a piece of quality of life and mobility. It remains to be hoped that the petition will be heard and that local politicians will be able to find solutions quickly.
