In short: February 2, 2026 will be one of those days when you step outside, look at the bus stop — and realize you probably shouldn’t have trusted the schedule. In most German cities, public transport will either come to a complete halt or run with major disruptions.

 The reason is familiar: a labor dispute between employers and a trade union. Transport workers are demanding decent working conditions instead of constantly operating at the limit.

 If you rely on buses, trams, subways, or local public transport, this is something you really want to keep in mind. Hoping that “maybe it won’t affect me” is risky this time.
