Free shuttle bus to the Miesbach forest cemetery on All Saints Day!

There is good news in Miesbach for everyone who wants to go to the forest cemetery on All Saints' Day and Christmas Eve. A free shuttle bus will also be available this year to make travel easier for citizens. The Finance Committee unanimously decided that the costs of this service would be covered by the Social Foundation. The shuttle service initiative was introduced last year to meet the rush on these special days.

An amount of 250 euros per day must be taken into account for the bus service, so the annual costs amount to a total of 500 euros. The shuttle bus will travel between different stops on the holidays: cemetery, Schweinthal, Volksfestplatz, town square and train station. On All Saints' Day, the bus will be in operation from 1:30 p.m. to around 3:30 p.m., as Merkur reports. The offer has become well established in the community, even if some seniors were initially skeptical.

Importance for the community

The shuttle bus not only represents a practical solution, but also promotes community. Access to important places such as the cemetery is essential, especially for older people who may no longer be as mobile. In rural areas or on the outskirts of cities, public transport is often not available, which makes getting to such places even more difficult. The availability of a free bus is therefore a welcome relief.

The statistics show that even with existing connections, traveling by public transport can be a challenge, especially for older people. This is where good neighborhood help comes into play, which is also offered in the form of transport services. The energetic commitment of the city and the social foundation that provides this service is a sign of community cohesion.

Supportive offers

• Fahrdienste sind in Miesbach und Umgebung längst eine Notwendigkeit, besonders für ältere Menschen.
• Zusätzlich gibt es auch ehrenamtlich organisierte Dienste, wie „Bürgerbusse“ für bedürftige Bürger.
• Berufliche Besuchs- und Begleitdienste unterstützen die Menschen gegen Entgelt bei Behördengängen oder Arztbesuchen.

Offering the shuttle bus is not only a practical service, but also a good step towards a more inclusive society. It shows that it is possible to participate in social life even in old age or when ill, without relatives or neighbors always having to be available. An initiative that hits the heart of Miesbach's civic life and shows that there is a good knack for community projects here.
