New public transport plan for Bremen: Better timing and exciting changes!

The traffic deputation in Bremen comes together again to discuss the progress in the expansion of local public transport (public transport). Michael Jonitz from the CDU asks clear questions about the first stage of the BSAG offer offensive, which was originally planned for 2021, but was now postponed to January 2026. According to Weser-Kurier Introduce the bus and tram lines outside of rush hour. This step could help increase the public transport share that has dropped from 15% to 12% in recent years, while the bike has now replaced the car as the most common means of transport in Bremen.

A potential challenge in implementation is the bridge situation in Bremen. The Senate confirms that the offer adjustments could be associated with changes, especially in view of planned infrastructure projects and road construction sites that could affect the efficiency of local transport. The second stage of the offensive, which is aiming for a ten-minute cycle for all tram lines, is anchored in the budget plans for 2026/2027 and carried out in several steps.

traffic infrastructure in focus

The transport infrastructure in Bremen faces extensive renovation work. The aim of these projects is to ensure the safety and performance of traffic routes, as can be read on the website of Bau Bremen . The renovation of the A1 Weser Bridge, which will take advantage of August 2023 to December 2027, is particularly relevant. As part of this project, the fault traces are blocked, and restrictions on the bridge can be expected from April 2025. In addition, several bridges in Bremen are on the list of urgency, since the need to renovate and new bridges is becoming increasingly important due to increasing traffic loads.

Currently, track construction work in Heinrich-Plett-Allee and Kirchhuchtinger Landstrasse are also underway. These are part of the extension of tram line 1 to Huchting and are intended to improve the connection. These extensions are part of a comprehensive plan to enlarge the tram network and generally strengthen public transport in Bremen.

New bus line network for the Bremen east

Another step to improve mobility is the adaptation of the bus line network in Bremen, which comes into force on August 18, 2025, such as Bremen News . The new lines are to better develop industrial areas, which is important for the more than 20,000 employees in Sebaldsbrück and other corporate locations. Line 29 is expanded here for the central connection, and a new bus line 23 is introduced, which the University of Bremen controls directly.

During the day there will be a densely tact of ten minutes on the relevant routes, which should further increase the attractiveness of public transport. In this way, the accessibility of important jobs is not only secured, but the city of Bremen is also made fit for the mobility requirements of the future.

Overall, it turns out that Bremen is on the right track to tackle the challenges of transport and infrastructure planning. Despite the numerous construction sites and diversions, the goal is clear: a future -proof and sustainable transport connection for all citizens. It remains to be seen how the planned measures arrive at the Bremeners and whether they can actually bring about the desired change in public transport.
