Karlsruhe: 20-minute cycle for line 5-local transport in the crisis!

Karlsruhe, Deutschland - In Karlsruhe, local transport on the popular line 5 is drastically restricted! From December 15, passengers will have to expect a new 20-minute cycle-even during the rush hour. This decision, which initially applies for half a year, was made by the transport companies to ensure more stable tram operation. The reason? An acute shortage of skilled workers has repeatedly led to failures in the light rail network.

The city is under pressure because the extensive ten-minute cycle has been discussed for a long time. Karlsruhe is fighting with an annual deficit of over 100 million euros, and Mayor Mentrup has made it clear that the city can no longer invest in the financing of local transport from its own resources. Changes on line 5 are a direct result of these financial challenges that question the future of local transport in Karlsruhe. You can find out more about this In a current report on bnn.de .
