The big surprise is missing on Monday evening.
The market town council votes with a large majority for a route-guided bus system in Murnau.
He is holding on to the end of the previous model.
It is still unclear on Tuesday whether the Omobi advocates will start a citizens' initiative.
Murnau
– Relatively at the beginning, Mayor Rolf Beuting (ÖDP/Bürgerforum) makes an appeal: He asks visitors to the culture and conference center (KTM) not to clap or to express their rejection.
However, that does not stop some citizens from expressing their opinions.
The audience applauded again and again, especially supporters of the Omobi local bus.
Around 100 interested people populate the large hall in the KTM on Monday evening.
As expected, the special session on public transport attracted many citizens.
Several town hall bosses from the Blue Land can also be seen.
However, they leave the room relatively quickly when a council majority (18 votes to 7) decides to scrap the Blue Country Bus item.
This was requested by the Alliance 90/The Greens, CSU, Free Voters, More Move and SPD factions.
Because there were no “reliable figures”.
In addition, Veronika Jones-Gilch, spokeswoman for the Greens, emphasizes: "We want to take enough time for the blue country bus." It doesn't help that Beuting says: "The issues are related." The other municipalities would have that too manage.
point is preferred
The parliamentary groups Alliance 90/The Greens, CSU, Free Voters, More Movement and SPD are also pushing through something else with their majority.
Your application for the introduction of a line-guided system will be brought forward and will therefore be dealt with before the citizens' application.
The aim of this is for the market town council to revoke its January decision.
At that time, the people's representatives shut down the current dial-a-bus system.
Phillip Zoepf, group spokesman for Mehr Move, makes it clear that it's not about pulling the plug or wanting to bury something, but about a "360-degree view".
The on-call bus had reached its limits.
"We have not exhausted all possibilities." Hence the application for a circular bus system.
CSU parliamentary group spokesman Josef Bierling has repeatedly dealt with the numbers.
“We have the right and the duty to look after our budget and taxpayers' money.
We also do this with other projects.” Bierling emphasizes like a mantra that subsidies are also subsidies.
What prompted Anna Schlegel-Herz (ÖDP/Citizens' Forum) to replicate.
"We do all our projects with subsidies." However, the subsidy for the local bus is 90 percent, as Greens parliamentary group spokesman Hans Kohl explains.
"It's clear,
that public transport costs money.” But a subsidy of 40 to 60 percent is normal.
Kohl brings further, well-known arguments.
"The on-call bus mainly drives with one person." And there is a "not inconsiderable proportion of empty trips".
When other representatives of the five groups mentioned take the floor and present the application, Michael Manlik (ÖDP/Citizens' Forum) has enough.
"It can't be that six or seven people present an application." That's not usual.

Philipp Zehnder, environmental and mobility officer for the Murnau market, makes it clear that a circular bus route is not very attractive for passengers due to the sometimes long journey times in one direction.
It takes thirty minutes from the train station to Untermarkt.
In comparison to the present offer for the continuation of the on-demand system, in his opinion, "if the application is implemented, a deterioration in the service quality for large parts of the local area" can be assumed - with a simultaneous increase in the financial deficit for the Murnau market.
Mayor Beuting also points out that a regular bus in combination with call-a-bus and taxis is “significantly more expensive” than the previous call-a-bus system.
The head of the town hall sees public transport in a larger context.
He mentions the reform of the bus line to Kochel,
the planned Alpenbus and a new bus route from Murnau to Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
If all this happens, one is “no longer a developing country” in terms of public transport.
"Traffic policy ghost trip"
Critics also repeatedly mention that the Omobi is partially overloaded.
From Beuting's point of view, however, the conclusion must not be to shut down a "high-quality system".
The head of the town hall has the impression that the applicants "are on a traffic-political ghost trip".
Of course, the expert Ralf Willrett does not say that.
Nevertheless, he recommends continuing the Omobi “because it is established and used.
We would gain a bit of time that way.” Because he fears that by July – the Omobi will be running until the end of June – there will be no solution or only a “bumpy solution”.
Ultimately, only the ÖDP/Bürgerforum and Beuting voted against the application.
The rest is for it.
In the future, a local bus line will operate in the ring system.
Minibuses (e.g. nine-seaters) are to be used in a defined Murnau core area.
The cornerstones are known: starting on July 1 if possible, clocking adapted to the train timetable with a stop at the station, stop system based on available data, use of existing stops such as those from the RVO, clocking at least every 60 minutes.
In addition, the administration should examine the extent to which the peripheral areas can be covered with other modules (e.g. taxis, demand line).
Taxi vouchers are to be issued for citizens who are severely restricted in their mobility and have little money.
This system will initially be introduced for two years.
The citizens' application by Omobi supporters is dealt with in the committee, but ultimately only acknowledged.
There is no decision.
Rainer Paschen, Chairman of the Senior Citizens' Advisory Board, criticizes the fact that the citizens' application, which around 1,400 people signed, was put aside.
It is clear to him that even treatment at the beginning of the meeting would probably not have changed the vote.
In his eyes, the result is a "disaster".
It is still unclear whether the Omobi supporters will start a citizens' initiative.
On Tuesday, Paschen pointed out that the association for economic development wanted to meet on Tuesday evening to discuss how to proceed.
Should there be a citizens' initiative, the ÖDP/citizens' forum will support it.
Group spokesman Wolfgang Küpper confirms this.
