Temporary bus lane on Lindwurmstraße removed as U-Bahn works pause for Oktoberfest

The temporary bus lane on Lindwurmstraße is being removed at the start of Oktoberfest, as renovation work at the Goetheplatz and Poccistraße U-Bahn stations pauses for the duration of the Wiesn.

With U-Bahn trains able to run normally again during the festival, no rail replacement buses will be in service, so the bus lane is no longer needed. Removing it restores Lindwurmstraße to its original layout, with more space for pedestrians between the buildings and the tree pits, and the cycle lane returned to cyclists.

The renovation work will resume after Oktoberfest and continue initially until the end of November. During this period the U6 will run from Garching via Sendlinger Tor to Goetheplatz, while the U3 will terminate at Sendlinger Tor. Coming from the south, both lines will terminate at Implerstraße.

Between Goetheplatz and Implerstraße, a shuttle U-Bahn service will run every ten minutes, supported by a reduced rail replacement bus service on the surface.

The city's Department of Mobility and the MVG say they will monitor the traffic situation closely and respond with appropriate measures if necessary.
