Narrow bus offer in Bayreuth: illness cases provide failures

Stadtwerke Bayreuth faces the challenge of hiring some trips in city bus traffic during the summer vacation due to illness -related failures. This not only has an impact on passengers, but also shows the overarching problems of the personnel situation in many German cities.

The current timetable

From Monday, July 29th, until the end of the summer vacation, the municipal utilities have to reduce some bus connections. Line 306 in particular is affected, where only two three trips per hour are offered instead of the regular. This only applies from Monday to Friday; The timetable remains unchanged at the weekend.

background of the restrictions

Stadtwerke spokesman Jan Koch emphasizes that the staff ceiling has been repeatedly tense in the past few months. However, the current situation is particularly precarious. A phenomenon that not only affects Stadtwerke Bayreuth, but also many other transport companies in Germany. However, the bus lines that are used most frequently are largely spared from the failures in order to continue to offer passengers a certain service level.

recommended alternatives

For the users of line 306, it is recommended to use alternative lines. In this way, passengers for the section between Zoh and Kreuzsteinbad can switch to lines 310 and 315. For the connection between Zoh and Campus, line 304 is a useful alternative. There are also significant changes on line 314: here the clock increases from every 20 minutes to every 40 minutes.

a broader perspective

The situation at the Bayreuth municipal utility shows a larger, nationwide problem. Many cities fight with a lack of personnel in local public transport, which leads directly to restrictions for passengers. This development could have long -term effects on trust in public transport. It is crucial that the transport companies take measures to improve their infrastructure and personnel recruitment.

conclusion

The Stadtwerke Bayreuth ask their passengers for understanding and expect to be able to start normal operation again after the summer vacation. Detailed information on the trips concerned can be viewed on the website of the Stadtwerke. However, the current restrictions should serve as a warning signal for a more comprehensive discussion about the challenges in public transport.
