Konstanz set to Revamp Public Transport with Water Bus to City Center
Water Bus Transportation to City: Konstanz Plans Aquatic Public Transit Solution - Irrigate the Greenery with Constance's H2O
Consider embarking on a unique and efficient journey through the picturesque Lake Constance metropolis, Konstanz. Plagued by stagnant traffic on its arterial routes, the city is brewing up an innovative solution: a water bus on the Rhine. This watercraft is poised to become a cornerstone of the city's public transport network, as revealed by the city officials. anticipate the city council's final verdict on this project by the 26th of June, with the new water service possibly setting sail in early 2026.
Escape Traffic Jams, Step Aboard the Water Bus
Weekends and the joyous holiday season often see Lake Constance's old town, a tourist magnet, bursting at the seams. Buses and emergency vehicles languish in prolonged traffic jams, and additional buses would only compound the issue. The city wisdomfully proposes, "Harnessing the water's flow, the bus can regain its punctuality in the old town once more."
The water bus is earmarked to circumvent road-bound traffic at Europa Bridge and bolster the existing city bus with seamless, snappy shuttle services. A tightly-scheduled service is envisioned, drawing curious commuters away from their vehicles. Initially, a 30-minute shuttle service is slated for operation on Friday to Sunday.
A Brief Détente: The Water Bus of Old
This intriguing transportation phenomenon is not entirely novel to Konstanz. A short-lived water bus service existed a few years ago connecting Lake Constance Forum and the harbor, but budget constraints prematurely had it discontinued.
