Details: The state capital Potsdam (LHP), as a municipal authority, has the voluntary responsibility of ensuring that the population is adequately served by other local public transport services, including school transport. Plans to secure and improve local public transport (ÖPNV) must therefore be implemented in the LHP area. The tram and city bus transport systems form the basic framework of ÖPN, which is supplemented by regional bus lines and local rail transport, including the S-Bahn. An attractive quality of connection between local public transport and individual transport is ensured at the connection points. Connection points are characterized, among other things, by easy accessibility to ÖPN/SPNV, short and barrier-free routes and coordinated timetables. Potsdam Central Station is the main connection point between all local rail transport lines and the city and regional bus lines, as well as the tram, taxi and P+R and B+R facilities. The Platz Der Einheit stop is the central transfer point in the public transport network. All seven tram lines, seven city bus lines and five regional bus lines run at the transfer point. At the Platz Der Einheit/west stop, there are over 90 departures during the morning peak hour (45 trams, 47 buses). The trend is rising and is to be expanded to around 100 departures during the morning peak hour, with an increase expected primarily in the number of trams. In order to improve the transfer situation at Platz Der Einheit in the future, particularly with a view to the tram extension to the north of Potsdam and other tram expansion projects as well as future service expansions in the tram and bus network, a feasibility study for the redesign of the Platz Der Einheit stop is to be carried out on behalf of the state capital of Potsdam. As part of a preliminary study by the state capital Potsdam, a possible variant has already been developed, which is to be included in the feasibility study. In addition, the contractor is to develop two further variants and examine them with regard to feasibility.
