Timetables in the Alps 2014 have been published
For the sixth consecutive year, CIPRA Slovenia, the association for the protection of the Alps, together with partners, has published the booklet Timetables in the Alps.
The booklet has also been upgraded this year – it now includes 6 new lines at home and abroad,
bringing the total to 37 lines of buses, trains, cable cars and boats in the Slovenian Alps and Austria.
The print run has reached 4,000 copies.
In addition to its content, which promotes the use of public passenger transport, the project can also boast
uniting the interests of 18 different partners. For the past six years, stakeholders who recognise the importance of sustainable mobility in the sensitive Alpine area
have been coming together on their own initiative.
This year, we joined forces with CIPRA Slovenia, the Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention, Center Rinka, Public Agency SPIRIT Slovenia, Public Institute SPOTUR Slovenj Gradec, Kärnten Bus GmbH, LTO Bovec, LTO
Kranjska Gora, LTO Sotočje, Alpine Association of Slovenia, Municipality of Tržič – TPIC Tržič, TIC Jezersko, TIC
Radovljica, Triglav National Park, Tourism Bled, Tourism Bohinj, Institute for Tourism and Sports in the Municipality
of Kamnik, Institute for Tourism Preddvor.
Unfortunately, state measures are progressing too slowly, so we are creating our own database of timetables collected in one place, thereby contributing to greater practicality of public transport use and consequently reducing
private transport. With the handy booklet, we are increasing the use of public passenger transport primarily among
tourists, as this year we have published the printed English version for the third time. However, we would like more locals, Slovenian visitors and hikers to use the booklet.
The problem is not only pollutant emissions and noise, but also land use – there is too much parked metal
both at our doorstep and in tourist areas. Sustainable mobility in our Alpine area is therefore very important, both for the present and future generations. And public passenger transport is an important alternative to private transport. However, we are aware that changing travel habits is a long-term process.
The booklet is available at all partner organisations, as well as in electronic form on the websites
of CIPRA Slovenia, the Alpine Association of Slovenia and other partners. It is also accessible via QR code.
The use of public passenger transport in the Alpine region is still poorly recognised, so your
media coverage of the booklet would be most welcome, as you would thereby directly contribute to greater
awareness, environmental protection and at the same time to improving the tourist offer.
