The construction of the second trunk line will probably take a lot longer than initially thought.
Therefore, a reaction must now be taken, emphasizes a Green politician and makes demands.
The second main S-Bahn line should actually be completed by 2028 - that was the original plan.
But meanwhile the work seems to drag on into the following decade.
That is why a Green politician is now calling for a quick rethink and a Plan B.
Munich - Due to renewed rescheduling, the
construction of the second S-Bahn trunk line is
delayed
- the
Greens are
now calling for
a plan B in the state parliament: As reported, a new
planning approval procedure is
necessary because the new train station in the east of the city is not at Orleansplatz, but
at the Friedenstrasse
is to be built.
Completion could take until 2032 instead of 2028.
Action must therefore be taken, says the transport policy spokesman for the Greens, Markus Büchler: "For Munich we need a bundle of alternative expansion and upgrading measures in order to
quickly counteract
the
permanent blockage of the existing trunk line
and the
daily commuters' pain
. “That is why plans for the continuous usability of the north and south ring of the
S-Bahn
would have to be included and the
outer branches of
the
S-Bahn had to be expanded
to
double-track everywhere
.

New main line for more relief: The rails of the S-Bahn are extremely stressed in Munich.

Second main route: Green politician calls for "many rapid expansion measures"
“These measures improve
Munich's S-Bahn traffic
even after an additional trunk line has been completed,” explains Büchler.
"If we finally
tackle a
lot of faster expansion measures
, the city of Munich * will be really fit for the S-Bahn at the end of the twenties."
In addition, the government must
buy new S-Bahn trains
earlier
*
.
Büchler: “We cannot
let
the drivers with their hundreds of thousands of passengers
rumble over the rails
with old material *
until 2028 or longer
.
A large number of new vehicles will have to be produced in the next few years, ”the Green politician demands in a statement that was widely distributed on Sunday.
