Opportunities for rail traffic in East Saxony: A merger of the transport associations in sight
1 min.
importance of transport connections for the region
The reliable connection to public transport is of central importance for the development of smaller cities such as Rothenburg. Mayor Philipp Eichler emphasizes the role of a reactivated railway line between Horka and Rothenburg as the key to improving mobility. This connection could not only strengthen rail passenger traffic, but also increase the attractiveness of the city and thus develop the economic potential.
The current status of the railway line
The railway line, which is currently classified as a connecting track, is in good condition and is about to convert into a public route shortly before approval. The German regional railway, as a track owner, plans to restore the business capacity of the railway systems. This could promote a paradigm shift in the region's mobility concept.
meeting point of the decision -makers
On Friday, the district councilors of Görlitz and Bautzen and the Mayor of Görlitz met with the Saxon Minister of Economic Affairs Dulig to sign an important intent paper. This document says that the two transport associations Zvon and VVO should be merged by 2026. Close cooperation and sharing resources could not only stabilize local transport, but also modernize. Citizens benefit directly from improved accessibility and a wider range of transport services.
commitment at the local level
Eichler, who is active in the Rothenburg small train club, sees the merger as an excellent opportunity to put the railway on the political agenda again. Bus traffic could also benefit from these measures, which would lead to an even greater networking of the traffic offers in the region.
conclusion: a positive development for East Saxony
The situation around the railway line between Horka and Rothenburg is an example of how municipal commitment and regional cooperation can create new opportunities for the connection and mobility in Eastern axes. A possible return of trains on this route could not only benefit the citizens, but also significantly increase the quality of life and economic strength of the region.
