🚆🚌 Spannende und herausfordernde Studie: Entwicklung des ÖPNV-Angebots in Deutschland 2023–2025 🌍💡 Der dringend notwendige Ausbau des ÖPNV stagniert seit Jahren. 😞 Ja, es gibt positive Beispiele – aber insgesamt passiert zu wenig, wenn wir den Umstieg in den Umweltverbund 🚉🚶♂️🚲 für die breite Bevölkerung ermöglichen wollen! Mehr Tempo, mehr Investitionen, mehr Mut – nur so schaffen wir echte Alternativen zum eigenen Pkw! 🙏 Herzlichen Dank an Greenpeace für die Beauftragung zur Datenanalyse zu diesem wichtigen Thema! Wir freuen uns, dazu beitragen zu können.
