Ticket sales in the Offenbach district: Where are the switches for seniors?

Ticket sales in the Offenbach district: Where are the switches for seniors?

In the Offenbach district, big changes are imminent: from the turn of the year, most of the ticket agencies will close for tickets. This was announced by the Offenbach (KVGOF) roundabout and attributes the closures to the introduction of flat rate offers such as the Hesse student ticket and the Germany ticket. These new tickets significantly reduce the need for traditional tickets. In addition, more and more customers are using digital channels such as the RMV shop or cell phone tickets. According to the KVGOF, economic considerations are the main reason for this drastic decision, which could particularly make older people who may not have access to digital sales channels. However, some sales outlets remain how the central RMV mobility center in Dietzenbach and the citizens' office in the district house, so that at least a limited offline service is guaranteed.

parallel to these drastic changes, city bus traffic in Offenbach is also extensively redesigned. According to the information from the RMV, the transport offer is expanded by 160,000 an additional kilometers per year. For passengers, this means an extension of line 101 to the Bieber Waldhof S-Bahn station. Line 102 will now also offer a direct connection between the main train station and the industrial area, which ensures shorter changeover times. In addition, lines 105 and 108 are extended to the Imperial Real, which reduces conflicts and waiting times for many passengers and a new direct connection between schools on the Rosenhöhe and the Kaiserlei is created.

improved connection and timetable changes

There is also special attention on the operating expansion on Sundays, which will make the buses in the future between 5:00 and 8:00 a.m. From around 9:00 p.m., the city buses continue to run every 30 minutes. These adjustments are intended to ensure that the different districts of Offenbach are better connected and the passengers can achieve their destinations more reliably. Such changes are of great importance for both mobility and everyday life of the Offenbacher, especially considering the many adjustments in ticket sales.
