Missen faces poor public transport rankings

The municipality of Missen has received a low rating of 6.9 in the new ÖV-Atlas 2026, placing it last among 28 municipalities in the Oberallgäu district. Mayor Martina Wilhelm noted that daily life without a car is nearly impossible in the area, particularly during school holidays when bus services are significantly reduced.

To address these deficiencies, the municipality is looking toward the Mobil 365 project in Oberallgäu. This initiative involves an additional four million euros in annual funding for local public transport. The plan includes replacing the existing Line 82 with an on-demand service to provide more flexible connections to Immenstadt and Weitnau, with operating hours extending late into the evening and through the weekend. However, these improvements are not expected to be fully realized until 2029, as current tenders are still in progress.
