1000 group members over the weekend – the two mothers tanja jakob and astrid vetter, who complained via facebook about the overcrowded school trains from ludwigsstadt to kronach and back, have set a few things rolling. Already yesterday, all politicians have intervened, television stations and other national media have expressed interest in reporting.
This morning, district administrator oswald also took action. "The problems that occur are unacceptable in this way", female. The situation must be improved, which is why the district of kronach is doing everything it can to ensure that school traffic runs smoothly.
The state of bavaria is responsible for public rail passenger transport – including school transport – and has assigned the task to the bavarian railroad company (BEG). "The BEG provides the train material and finances the trains. The district of kronach buys tickets for the schools and must rely on the BEG, together with the transport operator deutsche bahn, to provide the necessary train material.", declares the district administrator.
Since this is obviously not the case at the moment, a meeting with the responsible BEG employee will take place next wednesday at the district office. Following this, there will be a press conference on the details.
