Garmischer Straße bus stop: barrier-free expansion from 2026!
An important innovation is imminent in Sendling: the Garmischer Straße bus stop, which is served by line 63, will be converted to be barrier-free next year. This represents a significant step towards inclusion and accessibility in local public transport (ÖPNV) in Munich. Loud tz.de The renovation of the station will bring with it a number of improvements.
The stops on both sides of the Middle Ring will be designed so that they are accessible to all users. In addition to the conversion to bus trains with a length of 23 meters, the stopping edges will be equipped with three rows of ribbed plates, which will make it easier for visually impaired people to find them. Particularly important: The height difference between the bus entrance and the curb is reduced by a raised edge of 18 centimeters.
Better conditions for cyclists
Relocating the waiting shelter at the eastern stop in the direction of Schwanthalerhöhe will not only create space for two bicycle racks, but will also optimize the entire area. This includes closing the stopping bay in the opposite direction, which means that the bus will stop directly in the right lane in the future and make it easy to start and stop at the edge of the road.
In addition, five bicycle parking spaces and a drainage basin will be set up to recharge groundwater. Part of the area will even be unsealed, which will not only benefit the design but also the environment. The construction time for this project is estimated to be three to four months, and the Sendling-Westpark district committee has already approved the renovation.
A step into the future
The conversion of the Garmischer Straße stop is not just an isolated project, but part of a far-reaching strategy that promotes accessibility in public transport. The amendment to the Passenger Transport Act shows how important this topic has become. In accordance with the objectives set out in VRN are documented, all stops are to be adapted for people with reduced mobility by 2022.
Accessibility is a central element of the 2030 public transport strategy. A comprehensive review of the infrastructure is necessary to meet the needs of all passengers. “Mobility offers must be accessible to everyone,” emphasizes the initiative Future public transport network.
Overall, it shows that the barrier-free expansion has positive effects not only for people with disabilities, but for all passengers. Investments are currently being made in Munich in an inclusive mobility future. The renovation of the Garmischer Straße bus stop is a further step in this direction and could serve as a model for further measures in the city.
