On Shrove Sunday during the Giessen carnival parade from 1.30 p.m. until probably 5 p.m., there will be disruptions on all Stadtwerke Gießen AG (SWG) city bus routes. As soon as the parade is over, public transport will be running at regular intervals again. After the parade, the regular service will be reinforced by additional emergency vehicles as required. Even before the carnival, Stadtwerke will be deploying special coaches on routes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 801/802 from the Westschule stop from around 12:15 to 13:30. A bus will also be running from the Kinzenbach/Kirche stop. Stadtwerke asks its passengers for their understanding in the event of delays or even interruptions to journeys.
