Delays in Bremen's local transport due to snow and ice - Germany's transport chaos deepens as snow and strikes paralyze key cities
Winter weather and strike action have caused widespread disruption across Germany's public transport networks. Snow, ice, and industrial action by Verdi union members have led to cancellations, delays, and suspended services in several major cities.
Hamburg's S-Bahn system has faced ongoing issues over the last 24 hours. Snow and ice on the tracks have caused restrictions, while Verdi's warning strikes have halted many buses and U-Bahn services. Passengers in the city are struggling with reduced options for travel.
Berlin's tram network is also affected by icy overhead lines. Some routes remain out of service, leaving parts of the city isolated. Authorities have issued Glatteis warnings, and strike-related empty runs have worsened the situation.
In Bremen, snow and ice have slowed down public transport, leading to noticeable delays. While Munich has not reported major disruptions, other cities continue to face challenges.
Operators are urging travellers to check their connections online before heading out. This helps avoid unnecessary waits in freezing conditions.
The combination of severe winter weather and strike action has left many commuters stranded or delayed. Services in Hamburg, Berlin, and Bremen remain unreliable, with no immediate signs of full recovery. Passengers are advised to plan ahead and use digital updates for the latest travel information.
