FC Schalke 04 vs SC Preußen Münster: Fans Face Public Transport Strike, Rush Hour Traffic
Tens of thousands of football enthusiasts are expected to flock to Gelsenkirchen on February 28, 2025, for the highly anticipated FC Schalke 04 vs SC Preußen Münster match. However, fans face unique challenges due to a public transport strike and rush hour traffic coinciding with the event.
Public transport will be disrupted on match day, with Vestische Straßenbahnen GmbH lines 231, 280, and 281 not operating due to a Verdi union strike. Fans are advised to plan their journey carefully, considering alternative routes or modes of transport. Guest fans of SC Preußen Münster will be assisted with shuttle buses from Gelsenkirchen Central Station to the stadium.
Local fans can park in Buer-Mitte and walk the three-kilometer distance to the stadium. The route from the central station to the stadium spans seven kilometers, requiring careful planning. Despite these challenges, strict safety measures, including entrance controls, will be implemented to ensure a secure event.
Fans are urged to arrive early, consider carpooling, or walking to the stadium. They should also keep streets and sidewalks clear, form a rescue lane in case of traffic jams, and avoid parking on emergency routes. The match promises an exciting atmosphere, despite the logistical hurdles posed by the public transport strike and heavy traffic.
