The advertising for express buses also includes line X 920, which will be discontinued at the end of the year due to a lack of passengers.
District - There was something unfortunate about the timing: On Thursday last week, the district committee decided to discontinue the X 920 express bus at the end of the year.
A week later, representatives from the district office advertise the line, which runs from the Großhadern Clinic via Krailling, the KIM industrial area and Gilching to Fürstenfeldbruck, at Bavaria's largest travel and leisure trade fair.
However, the marketing department at the “f.re.e” in Munich is drumming up support for all four express buses – including the X 970 between Starnberg and Bad Tölz, the X 910 between Klinikum Großhadern and Weßling and the -Buchenau.

When asked by Merkur, District Office spokeswoman Barbara Beck said about the parallel trade fair advertising: “The other lines are going very well, and the
The four express buses in the Starnberg district run regularly every day from around 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., every 20 minutes on weekdays and every 60 minutes on Sundays and public holidays.
A new flyer provides information about the lines and is available at www.lk-starnberg.de/Bestellungstool.
The “f.re.e” at the Munich exhibition center runs from Thursday and until Sunday.
