The big strike also hits Munich on Monday (March 27).
MVG has now declared its emergency plans for the subway, bus and tram.
Munich – The last time wasn't that long ago.
It was only at the beginning of March that a large-scale strike in Munich caused significant traffic disruptions for two days - and unnerved Munich residents.
Almost three weeks later, the next bad news: Verdi announces another standstill in the state capital for Monday, March 27th.
It hits the airport even harder, for two days, Sunday and Monday, not a single plane took off from the Erdinger Moos.
However, the MVG hopes that there will be no total failure - and presents the emergency plans for buses, trams and subways.
An overview.
Strike in Munich: subway, tram and bus - that's what the MVG is planning
The MVG plans to "maintain at least part of the line operation", as stated in the official announcement.
The following preparations have been made:
Subway
operations must first be completely stopped “for safety reasons”.
Whether emergency operation can be guaranteed at a later date depends on the number of available staff and can only be decided at short notice
If emergency operation is possible, the focus is on lines 3 and 6, for which a 10-minute cycle is aimed for
tram
Emergency operation also depends on the available staff
Vehicles that are ready for use would initially be concentrated on individual lines and run at as even intervals as possible
Priority is initially given to the busiest line 20 and line 25 from Ostfriedhof to Grünwald
bus
Every second vehicle could be put into operation (reason: cooperation partners will probably not be on strike)
A 20-minute cycle is aimed for on all lines
The CityRing 58/68 and the ExpressBus X30 are no longer used.
