These incidents also skill lightly on security in public transport. The official statistics on traffic problems show that over 238,000 crimes, including considerable alcohol violations and dangerous traffic situations, were registered last year. This could indicate that traffic safety in urban rooms is still a hot iron. The detailed statistics of the KBA reports that in 2024 over 76,000 alcohol violations were recorded, which underlines the dangers in road traffic. You can find more about this on the website of the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt .

While the investigation is on the latest incidents, it is to be hoped that security in Mannheim's transport systems will be seriously processed so that such risky situations can be avoided in the future. Because it is certain: everyone wants to get to the goal, and that should stay that way.
