- Entscheidungsunterstützung
Consider holding Bus 12 by up to 10 min
Protect the rail–bus interchange at Aldern Bahnhof.
Warum?
- 64 passengers transfer from RA 34 to Bus 12 (synthetic count from ticket mix).
- Next Bus 12 is 20 minutes later.
- Bus 12 has 6 minutes recovery time at Talstation, so a short hold is unlikely to propagate.
