The nationwide strike by the locomotive drivers and other railway employees led to numerous train cancellations in Tölzer Land.
This mainly affected commuters to Munich.
Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen - With a nationwide strike, many railway employees want to demand a corona bonus.
Therefore, the union of German locomotive drivers (GDL), together with other Deutsche Bahn employees, has been paralyzing a large part of the train traffic since Monday morning at around 2 a.m.
The district has not been spared the effects either.
48-hour strike by train drivers leads to many train cancellations in the district as well
Taxi driver Hias Hammerl noticed this.
"Since the morning at 6 o'clock people have been stopping me or calling me because they can't get on the train," said Hammerl on Monday.
In the morning he had already picked up six passengers from the train station.
"Commuters from the Loisach Valley heading for Munich were primarily affected," reports the taxi driver of the conversations with his passengers.
Many commuters from Kochel and Benediktbeuern in particular, who usually take the Kochelseebahn, want to be picked up by taxi. The train drivers' strike leads to numerous train cancellations.
Rail strike: Commuters particularly affected
The BRB (Bayerische Regiobahn) train connections in the Oberland have not yet been affected by the strike, a BRB spokeswoman told the Tölzer Kurier when asked. Of course, this could still change. Because until the early hours of the morning on Wednesday, commuters and travelers still have to be prepared for restrictions caused by the public wage war of the train drivers. "There are also dispatchers from Deutsche Bahn and all employees who are responsible for the infrastructure involved in the strike," explains the spokeswoman. And the latter could have an impact on the operation of the BRB in the Oberland. "Unfortunately, we have no influence on this, and we do not find out beforehand," said BRB managing director Fabian Amini on Sunday afternoon. But if necessary one will tryto maintain operations as much as possible with emergency bus services.
