Bus stop Lützellinden: Dangerous situation for waiting!

The local advisory board Lützellinden has made an urgent application that demands the timely expansion of the bus stop in Rheinfelser Strasse. This requirement results from the worrying traffic situation and the associated hazards for waiting passengers. The lack of bus connection to Lützellinden is perceived as problematic by the citizens, since they are increasingly being left behind by the core city, as well as the Giessener Anzeiger reported.

In a unanimous decision, all political groups have highlighted the need for a shelter and a bus bay at the “Long line” stop. The current traffic situation at the southern entrance to Lützellinden is assessed as extremely dangerous, especially due to the frequency of serious traffic accidents and near accidents. Not only the shelter for the waiting passengers is missing, but also enough space.

inadequate infrastructure

Another concern for worrying is that the bus stops in Lützellinden were classified far behind on the city expansion list, specifically in 40 or even back. The local advisory board has warned a budget and corresponding funds for the expansion of the infrastructure for years in order to meet current and future needs.

According to the current departure times of line 1, which is intended to ensure the connection between casting and lützellinden, the waiting times for passengers are often long, which further increases dissatisfaction. On Monday, March 24, 2025, the departures were between 5:51 p.m. and 11:21 p.m., which indicates an irregular time. For Tuesday, March 25, 2025, the first trips started at 5:51 a.m., but it should be noted that the frequency is depressingly low in the evening.

in the context of the public transport expansion

The current case in Lützellinden reflects the overall social challenges that are discussed as part of the public transport production. According to the target picture 2030, the infrastructure for public transport is to be expanded into an attractive, modern and efficient alternative. The need for a needs -based expansion of the transport offer can be seen in the regulation that buses should have priority in front of cars to prevent capacity bottlenecks. Unfortunately, the reality often remains behind these goals, as is also explained in the Future Network ÖPNV

In the case of Lützellinden, it becomes clear that the insufficient infrastructure not only leads to long waiting times, but also hinders the overall expansion of public transport. The expansion desired by the citizens could shorten travel times and increase the attractiveness of public transport. But without the necessary political and administrative will, the necessary developments will remain on the long bank.
