3G obligation required in local public transport: agreement of the traffic light groups leaked

Parliamentary group representatives from the SPD, Greens and FDP demand: Unvaccinated people without a negative test should no longer be allowed to use buses and trains - regardless of the mask requirement that continues to apply.

Munich: 3G controls at MVV?

"In our opinion hardly feasible"

The extent to which the proposed 3G rule can be implemented in Munich's local traffic is already being examined.

But: "In an openly accessible system like public transport, we believe that complete control would hardly be feasible."

The MVV is overly enthusiastic about the Corona traffic light plans.

"In a wide variety of studies, no increased risk of infection for public transport could be determined if the relevant framework conditions were adhered to," the statement said.

In addition to the mask requirement, the MVV refers to short travel times, constant ventilation and intensive cleaning of the vehicles.

A control of the 3G rule can only be carried out “randomly”, if at all, according to Munich.

And the MVV immediately rejects any responsibilities: "As with the regulations introduced so far, we see this task with the relevant regulatory authorities."

Local public transport was not an issue for Markus Söder's new Corona statement on Monday afternoon (November 15).

However, Bavaria's Prime Minister announced further restrictions for unvaccinated people and spoke of a “week of truth” in the fight against the pandemic.
