Railway blocking: Replacement traffic inspires 78 percent of passengers!

Railway blocking: Replacement traffic inspires 78 percent of passengers!

The railway line between Frankfurt and Mannheim has been completely closed since mid -July 2023 due to extensive renovation work. This measure presents many passengers with a challenge because they had to switch to alternative means of transport. A current survey carried out on behalf of Deutsche Bahn shows that about 12 percent of the passengers surveyed have been switched to cars or motorcycles since the start of the construction work.

The majority of passengers, a total of 78 percent, used replacement traffic, which consists of a group of 150 buses. Trains on the detour routes are also part of the package of measures. This support was organized to ensure the transport of passengers during the construction work. At the moment, the route will be completely released in mid -December 2023, which will mean relief for many commuters.

Reviews of replacement traffic

According to the results of the survey, passengers rated replacement traffic as mostly positive. 78 percent of the respondents awarded the school grades one or two, which indicates high satisfaction. The equipment and comfort of the buses in particular achieved a positive rating of 86 percent. The drivers of the replacement traffic received a good grade of 75 percent, while the information about 72 percent of users was classified as satisfactory.

These survey results are encouraging because they show that despite the inconvenience that a full closure brings with it, many passengers are willing to accept alternative means of transport. The implementation of replacement traffic has thus played a crucial role in reducing inconvenience for travelers and ensuring a liquid transportation. A representative participation of around 400 passengers gave a clearer picture of the situation, which not only illustrates the satisfaction but also the acceptance of the planned replacement offer.

For travelers who want to use the route in the coming months, it is important to stay up to date on the current information and the state of construction. Despite the challenges of the renovation measures in the region, the high satisfaction with the replacement traffic shows that Deutsche Bahn endeavors to offer passengers an appealing service.
