Germany-Sonneberg: Special-purpose road passenger-transport services

The Landkreis Sonneberg, as the competent authority, intends, with effect from 1 January 2020, to award directly a public service contract for public transport services by bus in the rural district of Sonneberg pursuant to Article 5(4) of Regulation No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The intended direct award covers all transport services on the above sub-network. According to the current planning stage, the sub-network to be awarded will consist of bus line 508 in regional transport. As things stand at present, the total transport service to be awarded amounts to approximately 93442 timetable kilometres per year.
The planned public service contract will cover the provision of scheduled public passenger transport services to the area of the rural district of Sonneberg covered by the above-mentioned line. The envisaged public service contract will also include provisions to adapt the transport offer covered by this public service contract to changing transport needs within a certain framework, e.g. due to future school closures and/or changes to the local transport plan in its future version. Within the framework thus defined, there may be changes both in the stock and course of the line, as well as in the timetable and tariff offer, as well as the quality requirements for that line.
By providing this information, the rural district of Sonneberg complies with the publication obligation under Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Section 8a(2) of the Passenger Transport Act. For further details and with regard to the time limit under the first sentence of Section 12(6) of the Passenger Transport Act, please refer to the comments in Section VI.1.
