Bavaria relies on more trains and better S-Bahn-a winter timetable full of innovations!

Landsberg am Lech, Deutschland - The Bavarian railway has announced exciting innovations that come into force from December 14, 2024. The Bavarian railway company reported that there will be a significant improvement in the S-Bahn offer in Munich. These measures aim to reduce the frequent delays of the S-Bahn. Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter (CSU) said that "passengers in Bavaria can look forward to massive improvements".

optimized connections and new routes

One of the outstanding points of the new timetable is the introduction of a direct connection from Munich Airport to Nuremberg. In the future, the express train will run every two hours to connect travelers more conveniently. In addition, a new direct line from Nuremberg is created to the Czech city of Cheb (Eger). These extensions are intended to improve the accessibility between important cities and increase travel comfort, such as schiene.de reported.

For commuters to the surrounding area, there is also gratifying news: On strong frequented routes such as Munich-Passau and Freising-Landshut, new Siemens trains are used, which offer 250 seats more than their predecessors. The intervals between the trains should be almost every hour, which should significantly reduce the stress during rush hours. In addition, the tariff area of ​​the Munich Transport Association is expanded to offer passengers additional options.

regulations for taking bicycles

Another aspect that the traveler should be interested in, concerns bicycles in the Munich S-Bahn. The Bicycle collection is limited at certain times: Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. However, this regulation is no longer necessary during the school holidays in Bavaria, so that on weekends and public holidays it is allowed to take away bicycles at all times. This will create a welcome flexibility in particular for cyclists.

These adjustments in local public transport are a step in the right direction to improve the mobility offer for all passengers.
