Deutsche Bahn Warns of Crowded Trains for Long Weekend
Deutsche Bahn warns of crowded trains and recommends alternative travel plans for the upcoming long weekend. The increase in passengers is due to the start of autumn holidays, sunny weather, and major events like the Munich Oktoberfest.
Many seats on Deutsche Bahn's trains are already fully booked. Passengers can expect particularly crowded trains on Thursday afternoon, Friday morning, and Sunday. The train operator advises checking train occupancy and traveling during off-peak hours for cheaper tickets and more comfort.
Construction sites in the network may cause delays. For instance, trains between Stuttgart and Munich are expected to be delayed by up to 30 minutes until Saturday. Passengers are urged to be patient and considerate, such as removing luggage from seats or reducing the number of bicycles brought on board.
With increased passenger traffic expected over the long weekend, Deutsche Bahn recommends planning journeys in advance and being prepared for potential delays. By traveling during off-peak hours and being considerate of fellow passengers, everyone can help ensure a smoother journey.
