SüdtirolTakt

This project sets out to make trains and buses a true alternative to car use for as many people as possible. However, this can only occur by offering modern, comfortable, environmentally-friendly public transport, as well as schedules and timetables that are tailored to customers' needs, easy to remember and perfectly integrated with one another. This is the main idea behind the South Tyrol Schedule project. According to South Tyrol's Transport Minister Thomas Widmann, considerable progress has been made with the South Tyrol Schedule project, as it establishes the railway network as the backbone of public transport, offering connections every 60 or 30 minutes along major routes, as well as additional services at peak times. The entire system is based upon four pillars:

Services at regular intervals
with the new network timetable.
 
An interesting range of services to all customers
with comfortable, latest-generation rolling stock, buses and coaches, attractive stations and stops, clean, safe, reliable, on-time services.
 
Competitive fares
with specific solutions for commuters, schoolchildren and students, senior citizens, groups and , families, occasional travellers.
 
Easy access and comprehensive services
with a vast network of ticket offices, dynamic timetable information systems, a single, easy-to-identify corporate image and a single public transport office.

Coordination and integration throughout South Tyrol:

Road transport:

  • 99 long-distance coach services
  • 22 urban bus services
  • 19 citybuses
  • 438 special services for schoolchildren

 

Rail transport:

  • local train services (operating every hour or half hour on all routes)
  • intercity or eurocity trains
  • approx. 200 freight trains operating every day on different routes and at different times.

 

with the need to tailor services and solutions to specific customer groups.
