Winter weather disrupts bus services across Lower Rhine region

Winter weather is causing disruptions to bus services across the Lower Rhine region. Operators NIAG and LOOK have warned passengers of possible delays, detours, and cancellations due to icy or snow-covered roads. Both companies are advising travellers to plan ahead and take extra precautions while waiting at stops.

Buses may run at slower speeds or skip certain sections of routes to ensure safety. Some services could face cancellations if conditions worsen. Passengers are being urged to check for real-time updates before travelling.

Electronic timetables, transport association apps, and the NIAG app will provide the latest information. Company websites will also carry service alerts. Travellers should allow more time for journeys, as winter conditions could extend travel durations. For safety, passengers must wear slip-resistant footwear and keep a safe distance from the kerb while waiting. The advice comes as both NIAG, based in Moers, and LOOK, which operates across local districts, work to maintain services despite the challenging weather.

The winter weather is likely to affect bus schedules for the coming days. Passengers relying on NIAG or LOOK services should stay informed through official channels. Extra travel time and caution at stops will help reduce risks during the disruption.
