Ticket prices remain stable - VSN sets signs for environmentally friendly local transport!

In the district of Northeim, the Transport Association of South-Niedersachsen (VSN) shows a clear edge: While many other regions increase ticket prices, the VSN remains at stable prices. Management has decided not to increase driving prices in the districts of Göttingen, Holzminden and Northeim for the next two years. Jan-Christopher Linck, responsible for district development, emphasizes the important social responsibility in rural areas, where high travel costs can be a barrier. This decision is supported by Doreen Fragel, the chairman of the ZVSN association assembly, which sees the stable price model as crucial for switching to public transport, which in turn makes a positive contribution to climate protection, the Online newspaper .

In addition, with the introduction of the new price level "Göplus", the city of Göttingen brings an expansion of city traffic for the Bovenden and Rosdorf area. This innovation makes journeys within Göttingens and between these places possible. Frithjof Look, city building council Göttingen, explains that this adaptation fulfills the long -cherished wish to equate Bovenden and Rosdorf. City traffic is therefore more attractive, although slight tariff adjustments are necessary for the citizens of Göttingen to ensure deficiency compensation. The clock thickening of up to four connection per hour from Bovenden and Rosdorf to Göttingen to Göttingen from September 2021 is also a strategic step to promote public transport, as from a report of the ZVSN emerges.

improvements in public transport

Maik Lindemann, head of department of the city of Göttingen, underlines the importance of the improvements that help expand the environmentally friendly traffic. These measures are not only important for urban traffic, they are also intended to promote traffic relief in the city center. The new lines offer an attractive connection and use digitization to contact tickets contactless via the Fairiq app, which was particularly important during the corona pandemic. Michael Neugebauer, Managing Director of the Göttingen Verkehrsbetriebe, is enthusiastic about the new possibilities and the expansion of local transport.

Overall, the expansion of bus traffic and the introduction of the new airline tariff are a clear step towards more environmentally conscious mobility. Mayor Sören Steinberg and Thomas Brandes from Bovenden emphasize that these changes not only secure mobility, but also contribute to the quality of life in the region.
