The annual timetable change is due on 15 December. The changes are kept within manageable limits.
In mid-December, timetables for local and long-distance public transport are adjusted throughout Europe. Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) also uses this occasion to make one or two small, targeted changes - for example to improve punctuality.
Overview of the most important changes
Line 1
Lützellinden - Rödgen
Buses that leave Lützellinden "Rechtenbacher Hohl" at 7.03 am via "Albert-Schweitzer-Schule" will in future terminate at "Sophie-Scholl-Schule" at 7.52 am. The return journey starts at 8.09 a.m. from "Sophie-Scholl-Schule". To compensate for this shortening, the following journey from Lützellinden "Rechtenbacher Hohl" will serve the final stop Rödgen "Bürgerhaus" at 7.18 am, arriving there at 8.10 am. In future, the return journey from the "Bürgerhaus" stop will start at 8.16 a.m. instead of 8.01 a.m. as before.
Line 7
Philosophenwald - Protestant Hospital
From Monday to Saturday, all departures from "Philosophenwald" between 6.00 am and 6.30 pm will start one minute later than usual. In the opposite direction, departures from "Evangelisches Krankenhaus" will start one minute earlier on all days. From the "Hessenhalle" stop, the usual departure times will be maintained.
Line 10
Railway station - Philosophikum
During the lecture period, there will be no additional services at 16.20, 17.20, 18.20 and 19.20 from "Bahnhof" on Mondays to Fridays. The reinforcement journeys from "Philosophikum" at 16.48, 17.48, 18.48 and 19.48 have also been removed from the timetable.
Route 12
Sandfeldschule - West industrial estate
The SWG transport planners have given all journeys from "Sandfeldschule" an extra minute at the "Behördenzentrum" stop to change trains. Accordingly, the departure times at all subsequent stops have been moved back by one minute. On Mondays to Fridays, the journey from "Friedrich-List-Straße" will also start at 7.43 pm instead of the previous 7.38 pm. The next journey from "Friedrich-List-Straße" will also be delayed by five minutes to 8.13 pm.
Line 801
Pistorstraße - Wißmar
The reinforcement journeys from Monday to Friday during the lecture period at 4.50 pm and 5.50 pm from "Philosophikum" will be cancelled.
Line 802
Philosophikum - Krofdorf-Gleiberg
This line will also no longer have the usual 16.30 and 17.30 service from "Oswaldsgarten" from Monday to Friday during the lecture period.
