Nationwide strike to shutdown German public transport Mon.
Germany's trade unions have called on German public transport workers to take part in a nationwide strike on Monday, February 2, 2026.
On Monday, buses and trains run by 150 local transport associations across Germany will come to a standstill, with the exception of services in Lower Saxony. Over the course of the day on Friday, transport employees in Hamburg will decide whether to take part in the strike.
Public transport users in all other federal states and city states, including Berlin and Bremen, should expect severe disruption or no services to run between 3am on February 2 and 3am on February 3.
Regional trains and S-Bahns will still run in many cities and towns, since these services are generally run by Deutsche Bahn, not local public transport associations.
