Traffic - Duration of Munich S-Bahn restrictions unclear
After the heavy snowfall at the weekend, it is unclear when the S-Bahn trains in Munich will be able to run regularly again. Deutsche Bahn was initially unable to say on Monday how long S-Bahn services would be restricted. "Severe disruptions" are predicted until the middle of the week. Thousands of commuters rely on the S-Bahn to get to work in Munich.
Early Monday morning, only S-Bahn lines 3 and 8 were initially running - 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.
