SPD demands: Double buses & trains! How a poster without a first name becomes a masterpiece of non-commitmentIn Hohenmölsen, deep in the Burgenland district, there is an SPD campaign poster. It features a man. No first name. Simply “SCHNEIDER SPD.” Alongside it are the slogans: “Stable government and DOUBLING BUSES & TRAINS.” “For our home in Saxony-Anhalt.” 
Let’s briefly philosophize about this doubling. Is the width meant? Then in the future, two buses will stand side by side on the country road, blocking oncoming traffic even more thoroughly. The height? Double-decker buses in flat Saxony-Anhalt – spectacular, but the first low railway bridge will turn into quite an experience. The length? Extra-long articulated buses that get stuck in narrow town centers like a truck in a pedestrian zone. Or is it the frequency? Every 60 minutes instead of every 120? We don’t know. The poster remains silent. Schneider remains silent. The SPD remains silent. Non-commitment as a defining brand characteristic. And yet the SPD has already been part of the government in Saxony-Anhalt for years. Continuously in the state government since 2016 – first with the CDU and the Greens, then from 2021 with the CDU and FDP, and even after the change to Minister-President Sven Schulze (CDU) in early 2026, it is still part of the government. Ten years of co-governing. Plenty of time to equip the cities and municipalities in such a way that the district levy would no longer strangle the counties and public transport could actually grow. What happened? … Nothing. The PVG Burgenlandkreis is struggling with the usual mix of tight finances, strikes (quite recently, there were once again several days of warning strikes, causing disruptions to school and urban transport in Naumburg, Weißenfels and Zeitz), and attempts to use EU funds to test on-demand buses that bring people from remote villages to the nearest bus stop. Overall, these are problems that did not just appear yesterday. And now, with the SPD polling just above or around the 5-percent mark, the great doubling is suddenly supposed to come after the election – provided, of course, that despite the current numbers, the party gets another chance to participate in government. The logic is compelling: implement none of it before the election, but promise it for after the election. Stability through announcements. We’ve seen this before. The revolution in local public transport thanks to the BundeswehrBut wait, here comes what may be the saving proposal from the creative department: Why not simply merge public transport with the Bundeswehr? There are enough soldiers. Vehicles, too – flatbed trucks, troop carriers, and, when things get really festive, the occasional armored personnel carrier. In winter, you travel without heating. Hardening included; the population of the Burgenland district becomes more resilient. Schoolchildren go to school in armored vehicles – not only practical, but educationally valuable. An early friendship with the troops makes it easier to join the service later. Military readiness starts with school transportation. The vehicles are regularly driven and don’t sit rusting away in barracks. The federal government, or rather the Bundeswehr, foots the bill. The district saves money. And since the federal government and SPD Defense Minister Pistorius are already busily rearming and hardly going out of their way to downplay the scenario of a conflict with Russia, everything fits together beautifully. Double use! Doubling! Schneider would nod proudly – if he had a first name and one could actually ask him.
Until then, the poster remains what it is: a man without a first name, a slogan without a unit of measurement, and a party that has been co-governing for years and is now promising what it could have implemented long ago. “Stable government and doubling buses & trains.” One may be curious to see whether, after the election, the buses will grow wider, taller, or longer – or whether they will simply continue running as before. That is, if they run at all. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
