Allgäu public transport in transition: joining the MVV is getting closer!
A significant decision in the area of public transport is pending in the Allgäu region. The citizens of the cities of Kaufbeuren and Ostallgäu want to join the Munich Transport and Tariff Association (MVV). For Kempten and Oberallgäu, we are currently examining how the region's future mobility can be designed. At a recent meeting of the mobility committee of the city of Kempten and the district, it was unanimously decided to take the first steps in this direction. Those responsible want to clarify by the end of the year whether joining the MVV makes sense, is cost-effective and practical. The district council has already approved the approach, while the Kempten city council still has to make a decision on how allgaeuer-zeitung.de reported.
What does mobility look like in the Allgäu?
The mobility company Mona is a central player in local transport in the Allgäu and has set itself the goal of simplifying bus travel across district and city boundaries. It brings together several transport companies from Kempten and the Oberallgäu as well as the Ostallgäu and thus offers an attractive, Allgäu-wide local transport network. This network is aimed not only at the local population, but also at commuters and holidaymakers who want to move around the region efficiently. Timetables, tariff information and special timetables for events can be viewed at mona-allgaeu.de. There is also a practical online departure monitor available, which makes it easier to find the best bus connections.
Diverse mobility offers
Mobility in the Allgäu is ensured by various providers. In addition to Mona, the Verkehrsverbund Mittleres Allgäu (VVM) and other transport companies also operate, which together form a comprehensive network of bus routes and stops in the region. Holidaymakers particularly benefit from guest cards, such as the ALLGÄU-WALSER-PASS or the KÖNIGSCARD, which offer numerous advantages in public transport depending on the region. These cards enable visitors to be mobile in many cases free of charge, which increases the region's attractiveness for travelers, as allgaeu.de highlights.
A positive conclusion is that local public transport plays a central role in the Allgäu and the upcoming plans could further improve the offer. Hopefully the next steps towards joining the MVV will soon become clearer so that Kempten and Oberallgäu can take mobility in the region into their own hands.
