After the adoption of the biennium for the state of Saxony by the Diet on 17
December 2010 was also the traffic Oberelbe
(VVO) provide a basis for detailed planning of transport services for
the years 2011 and 2012. Due to a change in the distribution of reductions
of the Free State over the two years of VVO replaced in 2011, € 6.7 million
less state funds, some mitigation against & # 252;
reduction over the originally announced by up to 8.4 million euros.
• Station Prices: On 21 December, the VVO of DB Station and Service Station
about the changed pricing system has been informed. The German track is
2009 by the Federal Network Agency been asked to change the pricing system for
use of stations and stops. Nationwide, there is
significant shifts of costs between the duty holders.
Lower prices for the use of stations, particularly in the heavily used stations
Dresden Hauptbahnhof and Dresden Neustadt, affect
directly from the VVO. The transport system can result in savings this year
change nearly 5 million €. "This short
notified and unplanned discharge allows a significant mitigation of the proposed savings measures
for 2011, "Ehlen says Burkhard, managing director of the transport
Oberelbe. • Bond financing
: In the interests of a single fare is charged
on the Association's 13 member carriers at 7.5 million €
as compensation. This is particularly the application
the single fare. Since the inception of the VVO 1998 is such that all partners receive
carriers such payments. In the interest of an attractive
transport it is important to keep this bond financing
upright. According to initial plans last year was from
this reason, a non-scheduled Tariff adjustment provided in April. "To prevent a feared exodus
on the car, we were
important to prevent this extraordinary tariff increase," said the association chairman
purpose Arndt Steinbach.
VVO, the chances of competition in the rail early on used
and benefits in the difficult position now of it. By
calls the S-Bahn Dresden as well as the lines of the diesel system, the VVO
could reduce costs for these routes. Sun
provide German Rail and the cities of Sachsen GmbH web traffic services with improved
Quality and at lower costs than in previous
transport contracts.
the economy through the contract for rail transport were released
means millions of dollars earmarked for investment, such as crossing points and
infrastructure. These funds must now be saved
. Thus the investment in the network area by almost half.
spite of a secure financial plan for 2011, the pressure on the local public transport
high. Thus, the payments of the Free State
2012 more Then 3 million to 9.7 million euros
reduced. The VVO must therefore review its service offering. This concerns in particular the routes
Nossen - Meissen and Sebnitz - Bad
Schandau. Both lines have an average occupancy of
only 13 passengers per train at a deficit of 2.8 million €
year. "Under the pressure of further cuts it will be very difficult
to operate these routes on time. A Busbedienung
shall constitute a reasonable alternative, "says Burkhard Ehlen.
is also already clear that there can be for the upper portion of the
Weißeritztalbahn just a tourist traffic, facing the
weekend. The decision on the further construction without
daily public transport lies with the Saxon Ministry of Economy. The VVO hopes
a timely decision and are granted the necessary votes
available.
"The fact that in 2011 it does not come to the last year decided
restrictions is not in hidden efficiencies, but to the happy
Station fact reduced prices, "as Arndt Steinbach
emphasized once again. "My goal is to maintain the routes to
Nossen and Sebnitz in 2011 and 2012, even if Dresden and the districts need to co-finance about
allocations. Moreover, in order to get the lines
a significantly greater use by the residents
is necessary. "(Press Release VVO, 22:01:11).
