Cloppenburg's new city buses: a traffic miracle for the region!

Cloppenburg, Deutschland - The Cloppenburg City buses that started operating on October 1 are the new superstar in local public transport! The Pro Bahn passenger association gives the innovative bus offer a brilliant praise and describes it as a groundbreaking progress for the rural region. Before the introduction of the express bus line to Vechta, which starts in December 2023, there were absolutely no bus connections. "The situation was catastrophic," explains Malte Diehl, the chairman of the regional association Oldenburg Land/Bremen from Pro Bahn. With the introduction of four new city bus lines, Cloppenburg is now in the fast lane!

The new bus lines C1 to C4 combine central points in the city and drive every 30 minutes every day-a real blessing for commuters and travelers! Eight brand new buses were purchased, which also offer standing room. And the best? By the end of the year, passengers can use driving free of charge! Even after that, it remains cheap with only 2 euros for a simple trip and 19 euros for a monthly ticket. This arouses desires, especially when you consider that Friesoythe is completely without public transport at the weekend. "This is truly an embarrassing luxury," says Diehl!

praise and criticism in focus

Despite the positive response, Pro Bahn points out: "An immediate success is unrealistic." Habits do not change overnight. Diehl appeals to the city: "The population must be convinced by offensive marketing that the city bus is a sustainable solution." And only in three to five years can you expect optimal utilization. A long way for the neon -colored mode of transport, who has the potential to change the face of local transport in the region.
