From Monday, 26 October 2009, when operations begin, the city buses on line 5 of Stadtwerke Gießen AG (SWG) will once again follow the usual route. Due to construction work in Bahnhofstraße in the area of the City Centre, route 5 has had to take a diversion until now.
From Monday, the route of the city buses from the Marktplatz bus stop in the direction of the railway station will once again run via the City Centre bus stop in Bahnhofstraße directly to the railway station. The Oswaldsgarten, Selterstor and Liebigstraße stops will be cancelled in this direction. In the direction of Wieseck, route 5 will in future run from the Liebigstraße stop to the Katharinengasse stop in Reichensand and on to Marktplatz. The Bahnhofstraße and Oswaldsgarten stops will be cancelled.
The departure times at the Bahnhofstraße and Liebigstraße stops will be adapted to the shorter route. The timetable at the Marktplatz stop will remain in its original form.
There is also a change for line 1. The 07:06 journey from the Taunusstraße stop in Lützellinden will once again travel via Katharinengasse and Marktplatz in the direction of Berliner Platz and Rathenaustraße from the Liebigstraße stop at 07:31.
