Public transportation adjustments: Redirected routes due to water pipeline rupture
In the heart of Wiesbaden, Germany, bus routes play a significant role in connecting residents and visitors alike. Here's a roundup of the current detours and route changes affecting some of the city's bus lines.
City Network Lines
Lines 3, 6, 16, 22, 27, and 33 are part of ESWE Verkehr's regular city network. These lines traverse multiple stops within Wiesbaden and sometimes extend to neighboring Mainz-Kastel or other localities, incorporating major city streets and transit hubs.
Regional Lines and Express Lines
Lines 269, 273, 274, 275, and X79 are likely regional bus lines or express lines serving routes connecting Wiesbaden with surrounding towns or districts.
School Bus Lines
School bus lines, such as N3, N4, N7, and N11, provide specialized service for students and generally run parallel or complement regular lines.
Detours and Road Closures
Due to ongoing construction and road closures, some lines have been affected. For instance, a closure on Gustav-Stresemann-Ring impacts lines 3, 6, 16, 22, 27, and 33, requiring temporary rerouting or stop changes.
Weekend traffic trials and special event detours may also alter routes temporarily. An example is the Rheinufer Biebrich, which impacts stops on lines 3 and 14, but not lines 3, 4, and 39 in general.
