Commuters in Saxony mainly work in large cities
One million commuters in Saxony work primarily in Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz. There are also attractive workplaces in Görlitz, Plauen and Schkeuditz.
Number of commuters in Saxony on the rise
The number of commuters in Saxony increased in the first half of 2022, according to the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) in Bonn.
Proposal for the traffic turnaround
The traffic turnaround is no good as an ideological dispute. Car traffic in large cities and metropolitan areas is often on the verge of collapse and pollutes the environment. Suburban connections by public transport and commuter trains often do not work well. Doubling spending on public transit and long-distance commuter rail is needed. There is also a need to shift freight traffic back from highways to rail and waterways. The goal should be large-scale container loading onto rail and waterways. Freight forwarding should only take place over the last mile.
