Geretsried makes bus driving barrier -free: 180,000 euros for renovation!

Geretsried, Deutschland - In Geretsried, accessibility in public transport (public transport) is very important. In order to meet the requirements of inclusive mobility, the city invests a total of 180,000 euros in the barrier -free conversion of its bus stops. This initiative is part of a comprehensive plan to improve the accessibility for people with disabilities. According to Merkur Geretsried has 43 bus stops, of which are currently only ten -free; Five other conversions are planned for this year 2025.

The renovation takes place gradually, whereby the stops along the main traffic axes are first put into focus. A significant improvement is achieved through the installation of digital passenger information systems at several stops. Districts such as fire brigade school, Schubertweg and others will be upgraded in the coming months to be accessible and usable for all citizens.

Why accessibility is important

The efforts to have a barrier -free public transport are part of a higher -level strategy that has been prescribed by law since 2022. The public transport 2030 according to mobility offers must be accessible to everyone. Accessibility not only affects the stops, but the entire travel chain - from the vehicles to the stations to the future. Important equipment features such as parking spaces for wheelchairs, acoustic signals and tactile control systems are just a few points that are observed when planning.

in Geretsried, the renovation represents real progress, but is primarily necessary because a large part of the existing stops in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district is still inaccessible to people with disabilities. So far, many passengers with different restrictions still have to compromise to reach the bus stops.

The way to the future

In order to further improve the mobility offer, the planned extension of the S7 S7 to Geretsried will also have a lasting impact on the bus network in the northern district. The city is currently working on an adapted public transport concept in cooperation with the district. This project is characterized by sustainable mobility and a high quality of life for all citizens: inside, as well as Germany barrier-free . After all, the Federal Government's goal is to achieve complete accessibility in public transport by 2026.

In the context of the renovation, no tree felling and redesign of the surroundings are excluded, which in turn should contribute to improving the overall impression of the stops. With such a commitment, Geretsried not only meets the legal obligation, but also proves a good hand for the future and shows that something is in place in the community.
