Streets Harderstraße will once again feature traffic from the 16th of September on lines 10 and 11
In the heart of the city of Ingolstadt, Germany, a significant milestone has been reached as bus service resumes on the Harderstraße, marking the end of over two and a half years of construction. This resumption of service will not only restore the city's local transportation system but also set the stage for a more sustainable future.
Starting from Tuesday, September 16, buses will once again serve the North Axis, with lines 10 and 11, as well as some school-related trips on other lines, being affected by the resumption. The shorter route through the North-South Axis will not only result in shorter travel times and more direct routes but also a savings of approximately €600,000 per year for Stadtbus Ingolstadt (SBI) due to the elimination of detours.
Emission-free electric buses (E-buses) will be a prominent feature on the Harderstraße, particularly suited for trips through this bustling area. In fact, approximately half of all trips on lines 10 and 11 can already be operated using E-buses. This commitment to environmental sustainability is evident, as the goal is to achieve 100% E-bus service on lines 10 and 11 by 2026.
The use of E-buses on the Harderstraße will also result in a quieter operation, contributing to a more peaceful city centre. The previously used temporary stops - ZOB and Rathausplatz/Schutterstraße - will no longer be in use, with the ZOB/Harderstraße, Harderstraße, and Rathausplatz bus stops resuming regular service.
Night lines N8, N9, N10, N12, and N14 will also be able to travel through Harderstraße, ensuring a seamless transportation network even during the night. The lifting of bus detours on the Harderstraße is expected to improve the efficiency of local transportation, making it easier for residents and visitors to navigate the city.
This resumption of bus service on the Harderstraße is a significant step forward for Ingolstadt's transportation system, demonstrating a commitment to a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient future.
