Free city bus in Pfaffenhofen until 2027: An environmentally friendly solution!
The city of Pfaffenhofen has made a welcome decision: the city bus is expected to remain free until mid-2027! The city council announced this, sending a clear signal for the promotion of urban mobility. Citizens and guests can continue to travel through the city without a ticket or hassle. This step aims to convince more people of the climate-friendly alternative to cars and to establish public transport as the first choice for inner-city mobility, according to pafunddu.de reports.
The city bus has been running through Pfaffenhofen for free since December 2018, and the passenger numbers show that the concept has fallen on fertile ground. In December 2024, the mark of 20,000 passengers per week was exceeded for the first time, which underlines the popularity of the offer. The Pfaffenhofen a. d. Ilm have taken over operations since 2020, and in 2022 the company “Stadtbus Pfaffenhofen a.d. Ilm GmbH” was founded to further expand the offering.
New concept of city bus routes
The transport system has continued to evolve since it was established in 1996. The city bus in Pfaffenhofen currently serves three main lines that run every 30 minutes. A new main line has been added between Niederscheyern and Sulzbach with three trips per hour. The system is supplemented by demand-based express bus routes, which run according to the needs of passengers during the week and take over the main routes on weekends from Saturday lunchtime. This means that Pfaffenhofen remains well connected and flexible in terms of transport.
Operating hours are Monday to Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. This adjustment allows commuters to better prepare for their journeys to Deutsche Bahn. In addition, the timetable optimization is continuously adapted to the usage habits of the passengers, as stadtbus-pfaffenhofen.de notes.
Future developments
Those responsible also have big plans for the future: The aim is to integrate the city bus system into a comprehensive transport system that will also include the district. These comprehensive measures are intended to further increase the use of local public transport. Passengers' wishes and suggestions should always be incorporated into future planning. The existing telephone booking option for the express buses also makes it easier for passengers to use the service.
In summary, the city bus in Pfaffenhofen remains not only a free and practical option for citizens, but also a living project to promote sustainable mobility. Further information and booking options for the express buses can be found on the [Stadtbus Pfaffenhofen] website (https://stadtbus-pfaffenhofen.de/).
