Since the city of Rosenheim withdrew from the Alpenbus project, plans have fallen silent.

However, the desire for the express line still exists.

District

– The subject of the Alpenbus, which the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen had also taken over for the district of Miesbach, has disappeared from public perception a bit.

It is a bus line that is important to the state, and the Free State would pay heavily for it.

Conditions are a one-hour cycle and few stops in order to maintain the character of the express bus line, says Tölz district administrator Josef Niedermaier.

Line management was already worked out

After long and tough negotiations, the route between Rosenheim and Murnau was fixed.

The costs that each district had to bear were also calculated.

Then a year ago, the city of Rosenheim gave up, "because they don't want to pay the 50,000 euros," says Niedermaier.

This called the whole project into question again.

The statement from Rosenheim is now "a bit softened".

Now there is talk of “capping the annual issue.

But then the other districts would have to pay for a deficit that rose in Rosenheim.

Nobody does that.”

Further talks with the city of Rosenheim

The other suggestion is that the Free State could pay more, "but then the other districts want that too," says Niedermaier.

Of course, they continue to try to get Rosenheim to give in.

But there is also an examination as to whether the Free State would pay for the Alpenbus if Rosenheim is not the final stop.

Markus Büchler, member of the state parliament for the Greens, made a request to the state government in December.

The Free State rules out a higher subsidy for the city because it would be unequal treatment.

I

Express line would also be possible without Rosenheim

But the last two sentences in the state government's response are particularly interesting: "Should the city of Rosenheim finally decide against participating in the Alpenbus, a suitable alternative end point with a rail connection in the districts of Miesbach or Rosenheim could be examined and, if necessary, planned.

This would not stand in the way of the funding offered by the Free State.” The project could therefore also be implemented without the city of Rosenheim.

"We're doing everything we can to get the Alpenbus," says Niedermaier.

The earliest date would be 2025. "The longer we discuss, the later it will be."
