Stuttgart 21: The chance of direct local transport connections from the perspective of a Stuttgart
according to a report by www.rnz.de it is not yet possible to drive from Heidelberg to Stuttgart without a change.
own expertise and local effects
As a Stuttgart native and expert in the area of regional traffic and rail network, I can confirm that the missing direct regional railway connection between Heidelberg and Stuttgart is a challenge. The effects are particularly noticeable for commuters and travelers who are forced to change in Manheim or Karlsruhe in order to achieve their goal. This additional time and the need to take several trains can lead to considerable delays in the travel time, especially when you consider that delays and failures in rail traffic are unfortunately common.
It should be noted that a direct regional rail connection between these two cities not only shorten the travel time, but could also positively influence the changes in urban and regional traffic. With more efficient public transport, commuters are becoming more attractive to use the train instead of highways, which could lead to a reduction in traffic.
Stuttgart 21 as a possible solution
The controversial project "Stuttgart 21", a conversion of the Stuttgart Central Station and a restructuring of the rail network, could be a solution to this problem. The plan provides for more efficient use of the track infrastructure and an increase in the tensile frequency, which could lead to direct connections and less waiting times.
However, there are 21 considerable concerns about environmental impacts, cost crossing and delays under construction at Stuttgart. A report of the swr gives an overview of these problems.
summary
It is clear that a direct regional railway connection between Heidelberg and Stuttgart has the potential to shorten travel times and reduce traffic. However, it remains to be seen whether Stuttgart 21 can provide this solution and what other effects the project will have on the region.
