The citizens ‘ ticket is one of the major visions for the public transport of the future. In the local transport plan, to be decided on Tuesday in the Senate, the reach saw it as an opportunity, “a significant expansion of the public TRANSPORT demand and public TRANSPORT market share”.
by 2023, the introduction of such Tickets should be checked. All of Berlin would not have to purchase a ticket, even if you use buses and trains. Such a transport levy rejects the CDU. The transport policy spokesman, Oliver Friederici, speaks of a “socialist redistribution”. It was not in order, all for the transport numbers. There were many residents at the outskirts of the city, which do not need the public TRANSPORT.
The significant expansion of the route network, when the Tram will come by 2035, 73 kilometers and the purchase of new vehicles Friederici advocates, by contrast, explicitly. Only two of the planned tram lines, he criticizes: there is A tram connection between Alexanderplatz and Potsdamer Platz along Leipziger Strasse and in view of the frequent traffic jams there, unreasonable.
the CDU calls for an extension of the U 5 to Moabit
Instead of the planned Tram between the main station and tower road would Friederici an extension of the U5. The Expansion of the metro network, the Senate committed were not clear enough. The feasibility studies for the extension of the U7 to the military road, in Spandau, and the BER in the South of neukölln were especially designed to soothe the SPD. The extension of the U1 to the Ostkreuz was not an issue at all.
Similarly, the FDP is expressed. “Important to fill gaps in the subway network, such as Uhlandstrasse-West cross connection of the märkische district, and Osloer Straße-Pankow, should be urgently started and not in the distant future to be postponed,” says Henner Schmidt, infrastructure policy spokesman of the FDP parliamentary group. Berlin need “a large throw for the construction of new public TRANSPORT routes, which is aligned with a significantly larger population”.
The passenger Association Igeb-tweeted as a first response to the Plan: “The patient piece of paper in Berlin. Is basically like an endless dime novel”.
