Ngokwemibiko yakamuva yabezindaba yendawo, umqhubi wesitimela kazwelonke waseJalimane, I-Deutsche Bahn (DB), yamemezela ukuthi abagibeli ababanjwe bebhema insangu eziteshini zesitimela zaseJalimane bangase babhekane nokuvinjelwa ukuphuma emagcekeni. Lo mthetho omusha we-DB ugqugquzelwe ukuthi kube semthethweni kwensangu yokuzijabulisa ezweni, okuhlanganisa izindawo ezithile zomphakathi, futhi uzoqala ukusebenza kusukela ngoJuni 1, 2024.
New umthetho kazwelonke eyaphasiswa ngoFebhuwari, ivumela izakhamizi zaseJalimane ukuthi zibe nensangu efinyelela kumagremu angu-50 (ama-ounces angu-1.7) ezindlini zazo ezizimele. Kodwa-ke, ezindaweni zomphakathi, umkhawulo wehliswa ube ngu-25 amagremu. Ngokuvamile, ukubhema insangu kuvunyelwe esidlangalaleni, ngaphandle kwezindawo ezithile eziseduze nezikole, izinkundla zokudlala kanye nezindawo zemidlalo. Ngokuvumelana nemithetho yamanje, izingane ezitholwe nensangu kuzodingeka ukuthi zibambe iqhaza ohlelweni lokuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa.
Ukugunyazwa kwensangu kugqugquzelwe wuhulumeni njengendlela yokulwa nokuthengiswa kwezidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni. UNgqongqoshe Wezempilo waseJalimane uKarl Lauterbach uzwakalise inhloso yokusungula "indawo yomnotho ongaphansi komhlaba" ngoFebhuwari. Ngemuva kwalokho, lo mthetho wasetshenziswa ngo-Ephreli 1.
Ngokusho komkhulumeli weDeutsche Bahn, isinqumo sokuvala ibhodwe likagwayi eziteshini zesitimela sakwaDB senziwe ngenhloso yokuvikela inhlalakahle yomphakathi jikelele kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwezingane. Umkhulumeli ugcizelele ukubaluleka kokuvikela abagibeli, ikakhulukazi izingane kanye nabantu abadala, futhi wengeza ngokuthi umthetho wamanje uyakwenqabela ukusetshenziswa kwensangu ezindaweni eziklanyelwe abahamba ngezinyawo, kanye nasezindaweni eziseduze nezikole noma izinkundla zokudlala ngesikhathi sasemini.
Isikhulu sakwaDB sithe abasebenzi bezokuphepha eDeutsche Bahn bazoqala ukwazisa abagibeli ngesonto elizayo mayelana nokuvinjelwa okuzayo. Ukwengeza, inkampani ihlose ukusebenzisa amaphosta kuzo zonke iziteshi ukuze ixwayise abantu ngabanye mayelana nemithetho emisha, igcizelela ukuthi ukuhluleka ukuthobela kungase kuphumele ekujezisweni, njengokunqatshelwa ukungena ezakhiweni.
Njengamanje abasebenzi bakwaloliwe bazocela ngomusa kuphela futhi beluleke abahambi ukuthi bagweme ukudla insangu kuze kube uJuni 1, lapho izinhlawulo zizoqala ukusebenza. Ukusetshenziswa kwensangu ngokwezokwelapha kuphela okuzokhishwa emthethweni omusha futhi kuzovunyelwa.
Imikhiqizo kagwayi ebhemayo kanye ne-vaping nayo ayivunyelwe ngaphakathi kweziteshi zikaloliwe zaseJalimane. Izindawo ezikhethekile eziqokiwe zokubhema zitholakala ezikhumulweni zesitimela ezingaba ngu-400 kuphela kwezingu-5,400 sezizonke. Ukusetshenziswa kwensangu kuzokwenqatshelwa nakulezi zindawo.
Cishe abagibeli bezitimela abayizigidi ezingama-20 basebenzisa iziteshi zesitimela iDeutsche Bahn nsuku zonke.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Ngokusho komkhulumeli weDeutsche Bahn, isinqumo sokuvala ibhodwe likagwayi eziteshini zesitimela sakwaDB senziwe ngenhloso yokuvikela inhlalakahle yomphakathi jikelele kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwezingane.
- Umkhulumeli ugcizelele ukubaluleka kokuvikela abagibeli, ikakhulukazi izingane kanye nabantu abadala, futhi wengeza ngokuthi umthetho wamanje uyakwenqabela ukusetshenziswa kwensangu ezindaweni eziklanyelwe abahamba ngezinyawo, kanye nasezindaweni eziseduze nezikole noma izinkundla zokudlala ngesikhathi sasemini.
- Ukwengeza, inkampani ihlose ukusebenzisa amaphosta kuzo zonke iziteshi ukuze ixwayise abantu ngabanye mayelana nemithetho emisha, igcizelela ukuthi ukuhluleka ukuthobela kungase kuphumele ekujezisweni, njengokunqatshelwa ukungena ezakhiweni.
