Closing the stops: Brennerbahn line loses two stations
Closing the stops: Brennerbahn line loses two stations
The low use and the high investment need have led to the decision to abolish the Unterberg Stefan Bridge and Patsch stops on the Brennerbahn line. From December 15, these stops will no longer be operated, which was announced by the ÖBB-Infrastructure AG. This procedure is not surprising, because the two stops have shown a very weak frequency in recent years.
The Brennerbahn is an important traffic artery that connects Tyrol with other regions, and the closure of these stops will particularly affect residents and passengers that rely on public transport. But the decision is based on clear commercial considerations. ÖBB sees you the need to efficiently use the existing resources, which means that stations that do not attract passengers can no longer be maintained.
background of the closure
In addition to the weak user frequency, there are also infrastructural aspects that have to be taken into account. High investments could be necessary to keep these stops into operation and modernize. Why should public funds flow into stations that are only used by a handful of commuters? This could clarify the question that the responsible persons are facing.The affected stops are not only geographically, but also located in terms of content. In this context, remote means that accessibility through other transport connections is missing, which reduces the attractiveness for customers. Commuters may have to switch to other routes or look for alternatives to the train to achieve their goals.
This topic not only affects the affected stops, but also raises fundamental questions about the future of public transport in rural regions. It remains to be seen whether and how the ÖBB wants to shape this change in the infrastructure in the future in order to take into account both the efficiency and the needs of passengers, As reports www.tt.com .
