It has only been a little over a year since the 810 regional bus started operating.
It connects the S-Bahn stations Mammendorf and Geltendorf across the border to Landsberg.
Geltendorf -
In Geltendorf at the time, the community successfully campaigned for the bus to go to four inner-city stops.
Now the U-turn threatens.
With a very small majority, the local council decided not to participate in the deficit of the line.
If this decision is retained, the bus would run through to the station without stopping from December 2021.
The regional bus line runs every 40 minutes from Monday to Saturday, from 5.30 a.m. to 8.30 p.m.
The operating cost deficit - only in relation to the Geltendorf municipality - is shared between the municipality and the Landsberg district.
If Geltendorf gets out now, the district will do too.
In addition, a good 100,000 euros in funding would have to be repaid.
These were granted on the condition that the bus would run unchanged for at least five years.
"I think that some of the town council members were not fully aware of this effect," says Mayor Robert Sedlmayr (ÖDP), referring to the 10:10 vote.
In his opinion, the votes against were motivated more politically than objectively.
During the meeting the demand had been raised that the bus line, coming from Moorenweis, should also go to the Hausen district via Eismerszell.
According to Sedlmayr, however, this is not possible because the timetable is coordinated so that there is a connection to the S-Bahn trains in Mammendorf and Geltendorf.
In January, the town hall chief wants to bring the topic back on the agenda.
And before or during the meeting, convince the committee "after carefully weighing the factual arguments" to agree to deficit participation after all.
