Catalogue question 134 · Question catalogue in force since 2024-07-01
Someone wants to abolish the bus line you always take to work. What can you do to keep the bus line?
- I join a citizens' initiative to keep the bus line, or start one myself. Correct
- I become a member of a sports club and train cycling.
- I contact the tax office, because as a taxpayer I have a right to the bus line.
- I write a letter to the municipality's forestry office.
Why — for every option
- A — Correct: a citizens' initiative is precisely the intended means for exerting local political influence on concrete administrative decisions such as public transport.
- B — Cycling does not solve the problem of a discontinued bus line and is not a form of political influence.
- C — Taxpayers have no direct enforceable right to a particular bus line, and the tax office is not responsible for public transport planning.
- D — The forestry office is responsible for forests, not public transport — the correct body would be the transport or public order office, or the municipal council.
