It's that time again. Christmas is just around the corner. For the local transport department of Stadtwerke Gießen AG (SWG), this is the time to put together another attractive timetable for the city buses on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
The Giessen city buses will run on the Saturday timetable on Christmas Eve. However, the city bus service will be cancelled early on this day - at 17:00. On both Christmas holidays, the buses will run according to the Sunday and public holiday timetable. On New Year's Eve, the city buses will run according to the Saturday timetable from the start of service until around 11.30 pm and then return to the SWG depot. For the night from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day, SWG has set up a so-called circular service. A special timetable applies between 01:00 and 04:00 on this night. Three night bus routes run every 60 minutes within the city of Giessen and the municipality of Heuchelheim.
Line A
Line A runs via Berliner Platz, Schiffenberger Weg, Sandkauter Weg, Ohlebergsweg, Aulweg, Frankfurter Straße, Klein-Linden, Allendorf, Lützellinden and back via Klein-Linden, Frankfurter Straße to Berliner Platz.
Line B
Line B runs via Berliner Platz, Ostanlage, Marburger Straße, Wiesecker Weg, Wieseck, Philosophenwald, Grünberger Straße, Rödgener Straße, Rödgen, Licher Straße back to Berliner Platz.
