The nine-euro ticket has also led to a significant increase in the number of passengers in buses in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck.

The local public transport department speaks of an increase of 10.6 percent.

Fürstenfeldbruck - The survey was possible thanks to the automatic passenger counting already available in many buses.

The ten percent increase was calculated for the average school day.

In addition, figures for an average Saturday were evaluated.

There, too, it was clear in June and July (there is no data for August yet) – by 21.7 percent, according to a paper from the district administration.

The value rose the most on Sundays.

Here the analysts come to an increase of 31.9 percent.

On vacation days, the increase was 17.4 percent.

In addition, more people than usual used the Ruftaxi.

The MVV, to which the district belongs, comes to a similar conclusion.

There was talk of ten percent growth, again also strongest at the weekend.

"It is not surprising that the increases at the weekend were higher in comparison," says the public transport department in the district office.

The new customers, or customers regained after Corona, would rather try the offer in their free time than in everyday business with its usual and sometimes meticulously planned routes.

However, that does not mean that no new regular customers will be won.

On the contrary: the staff hopes that such introductory offers offer the ideal opportunity to convince potential passengers of an attractive offer.

Those responsible in the district office also criticize data according to which only three percent have switched from cars to public transport.

The survey on which this data is based was very imprecise.

On the other hand, a ten percent shift is assumed.
