DEUTSCHE BAHN: Minister President Bodo Ramelow Wants to Invest 100 Billion Euros in the Railway!
Thuringia's Minister President Bodo Ramelow is calling for a special fund of 100 billion euros to modernize the railway system. This amount should be allocated over a period of ten years to comprehensively renew the core infrastructure of the railway. Ramelow emphasized that piecemeal investments are insufficient and that a comprehensive plan is necessary. The financing should be independent of the federal budget to ensure the required funds.
Ramelow's proposal comes at a time when reports of possible ticket price increases and a potential reduction in the railway network are causing concern. The Left Party politician sees the need to future-proof the railway as an essential means of transportation and to adapt it to the demands of modern society. The planned investments aim not only to improve infrastructure but also to enhance the attractiveness and reliability of the railway.
The call for a special fund underscores the urgent need to find sustainable solutions for the railway. This is intended to improve mobility in Germany in the long term and reduce the environmental impact of transportation. Ramelow hopes that his proposal will receive broad political support and be implemented quickly to make the railway fit for the future.
