After Morning Icing - Bus Traffic Running Again - Heavy snow and ice halt bus services across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Bus services in parts of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern faced disruption on the morning of January 13, 2026. Heavy snow and ice forced transport companies to halt operations in Ludwigslust-Parchim and southern Rostock. Services eventually resumed later in the day, though some delays persisted due to lingering icy conditions.
The problems began early as dozens of buses were stranded in depots. Ice made roads unsafe for morning commutes and school routes. As a result, transport firms in both districts suspended all services until further notice.
By 10:00 a.m., conditions had improved enough for operations to restart. Buses returned to their schedules, picking up passengers who had been left waiting. Despite the resumption, officials warned that icy patches could still cause minor delays throughout the day.
Public transport in Ludwigslust-Parchim and Rostock is now running again, though not without some lingering issues. Drivers and passengers have been advised to stay cautious, as slippery roads may continue to affect travel times. The situation remains under close monitoring by local authorities.
