Baden-Württemberg: The state wants to open up remote areas with regional buses

By no means every corner of the country has access to rail transport. The country wants to close this gap. The network of regional bus lines in Baden-Württemberg is growing.

Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - The state government wants to use regional buses to open up rural areas that are dependent on rail. With a funding program, the number of regional bus routes has been increasing for some time. 36 lines have now been added to the country's railway network. Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann and Minister of Transport Winfried Hermann (both Green) want to inform about the funding program today.

The weekly government press conference should also deal with other major topics these days, such as the corona pandemic and the upcoming energy crisis.
