Regional chaos in Bavaria: trains completely overcrowded - drivers desperate
Extensive closures around Murnau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen due to the cycle race as part of the European Championships 2022 are causing temporary, massive disruptions to rail traffic.
The rail replacement service between Murnau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen further aggravates the situation.
Crowds of day trippers bursting regional transport capacities.
"Please, please find another destination.
We don't know how to cope with the crowds," pleads a train driver on the route towards Murnau.
Some of the SEV buses could not even leave Murnau because of the start of the cycle race.
The mood among passengers is correspondingly frustrated.
