Heavy snowfall - and yet everything is initially running according to plan. How the transport companies are keeping the buses and trains on course in the morning. Nevertheless, caution is particularly important for passengers right now.

The heavy morning snowfall has hardly affected the transport companies in Leipzig and Dresden. Bus and train services started running according to plan, according to an inquiry.

The routes had been cleared in good time. With streetcars running every ten minutes, the tracks also remained clear, said a spokesperson for Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB). The overhead lines were also clear. Although the stops were initially cleared, they were quickly snowed in again due to the heavy snowfall. He therefore appealed to passengers to be very careful and, if possible, not to go outside.

In Dresden, too, the morning initially started as planned. However, this was a snapshot in time, emphasized a spokesperson for the Dresden public transport company (DVB). The bus drivers would adapt to the road conditions and drive more slowly accordingly.
