- Hohenheim University demands a direct tram connection from its campus to Stuttgart’s city center without further delays.
- The planned U25 line will eliminate the transfer at Möhringen by linking key stops like Riedsee and Sigmaringer Straße.
- This project was previously postponed to 2027 and ranked first in the 2023 citizen budget survey.
- The city council must decide by the end of 2025 on the public transport plan for 2026-2030, which will impact the line’s execution.
Delaying the direct tram connection indefinitely is therefore highly problematic – especially in light of the ambitious climate goals of the city and state, which we as a university explicitly support.— Katrin Scheffer, Chancellor of the University of Hohenheim, warns about the consequences of delaying the tram connection.
