criticism
The alliance pro Schiene criticized the founding of the association as "brazen misleading", under the guise of the term mobility one-sidedly represented street interests.
Thomas Leif and Rudolf Speth state in their book Die Stille Macht that it is now a good tradition of the road construction lobby to get people out of politics (here President Eduard Oswald ). These people would have contacts with the decision-makers and could put them to good use.
