The aim is to increase reliability and make local transport more attractive for citizens.

Especially on bus line 631, which drives from Tannenbusch to Bad Godesberg, the punctuality of 64.5 % in 2018 improved to 81.5 % in the third quarter of 2024. This corresponds to an increase of 17 % since the introduction of the current measures, such as bonn.de reported.

Beyond the bus lines 605, 630 and 631, lines 610 and 529 are also in political advice to check opportunities for acceleration.
