Weather - Continued restrictions in Munich's public transport system
After the weekend's snow chaos, travelers on Munich's public transport system still have to be prepared for some restrictions on Monday. Only the S-Bahn lines 3 and 8 were running in the early morning - and only on certain sections, according to Deutsche Bahn. The S8 ran between Westkreuz and Munich Airport, the S3 between Ostbahnhof and Lochhausen. A replacement service was set up for the S2 between Dachau and Laim.
The streetcars were still at a standstill in the morning, as reported by Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft(MVG). The subway trains and buses were in operation - however, MVG expected irregular service.
