Munich's main S-Bahn track Shutdown repeated. - S-Bahn Main Line in Munich Closed Once More
Get ready, Munich-dwellers! The S-Bahn mainline is once again experiencing a frustrating shutdown, set to happen this coming weekend. As announced by Deutsche Bahn, the congested construction works on tracks, switches, and stations will cause "drastic schedule changes and diversionary traffic" from Friday night to Monday morning.
The troublesome stretch is between Pasing, Leuchtenbergring, and Giesing. During this period, no trains will venture over the S-Bahn tracks from Friday evening to Monday morning. Don't be surprised if many lines are either rerouted or curtailed, and some lines may even skip the affected section altogether. Yet, replacement buses will chug along every ten minutes between Pasing and the main station on the mainline.
With the S-Bahn barely operational, it's time to consider some alternative modes of transport:
- U-Bahn: Gear up to explore Munich's underground network. For example, the S1 line may skip its stops between Moosach and the main station, yet you can swing by the U3 at Moosach to reach the city center. Alternatively, the S2 in the east may only serve its riders between Erding and Leuchtenbergring, in which case, the U2 at Giesing can step in to help you continue your journey.
- Tram and Bus Services: MVG's trams and buses may be your ticket to avoiding S-Bahn woes, if you're accustomed to navigating Munich's local routes. Familiarize yourself with the MVG website to stay abreast of any disruptions and detour routes during this shutdown.
- Private Vehicles or Taxis: If possible, taking your own car or hailing a taxi might offer a more direct route. However, this option could be pricier and less eco-friendly.
- Carpooling and Ride-Sharing Services: If you can access these options, carpooling or ride-sharing services can provide an efficient workaround to the S-Bahn closure.
Remember to stay tuned to updates from Munich's local transportation authorities for the latest info on alternative routes and services. Safe travels!
