Following scrutiny over the safety of VVS riders: the district emphasizes that all drivers are obligated to adhere to established guidelines and legal requirements
In the northern region of the Ludwigsburg district, the VVS-Rider bus company is responsible for providing public transport services. According to the contract between the district and the bus operator, using mobile phones during working hours is strictly prohibited, except for necessary business calls made with a hands-free system.
The VVS driver, operating currently in the Ludwigsburg district, is bound by the general transport conditions of the Stuttgart Public Transport and Tariff Association (VVS). However, there are no specific contractual regulations regarding seat belts or speed limits within the northern region where the VVS driver is operating. These regulations are governed by the Road Traffic Regulations.
In case of conflicts between passengers, the VVS driver is expected to take appropriate action until requested to ask the passenger to leave the vehicle or call the police. There are no specific actions outlined in the contract for such situations beyond these measures.
It's worth noting that the prohibition on mobile phone use during working hours is not subject to any exceptions or special considerations. The aim is to ensure the safety and focus of the VVS driver while operating the bus.
Passengers are reminded to respect these rules for the safety and comfort of all on board. Any violations of these rules may lead to disciplinary action, although the specific penalties or consequences for such violations are not outlined in the contract.
