People's Map: This Carnival weekend, Solingen, Leichlingen, and Haan are ready to paint the town red! But hey, the festivities don't come without hiccups in public transport. The Transportation Department of Solingen City Works, ya know, those highway heroes, are spilling the beans on detours and closed bus stops due to the Carnival parades.
Rosenmontag: Change of Scene in Solingen
On Monday, March 3, it's the groovy Rosenmontag parade's turn to take over Solingen's city center. From 1:30 PM, it's a wrap for buses on Mumm Street, parts of Cologne Street, Graf Wilhelm Square, and the riverside garden. Buses on the affected lines are gonna hitch a ride at alternative stops.
During the parade, these stops are taking a rain check: Mühlenplatz, Graf-Wilhelm-Platz, Entenpfuhl, Werwolf, and Wupperstraße. Buses on O-Bus lines 681 and 682 (to and from Ohligs), line 683 (to and from Wuppertal-Vohwinkel), line 684 (Hasselstraße), and line 686 (Aufderhöhe) will catch their ride at the town hall.
