Warning strike: Buses and trains remain in depots in many places. Almost all major transport companies in North Rhine-Westphalia, such as KVB (Cologne), Rheinbahn (Düsseldorf), DSW21 (Dortmund) and the Münster municipal utility, are on strike.

In many places there are only a few buses on the road. In large cities and on city highways, an increased risk of traffic jams can be expected.
