Leipzig (dpa / sn) - After the heavy snowfall with drifts, the transport companies in Saxony hope that the situation will normalize.
«The main routes in particular are cleared of snow at night.
We also have clearing vehicles from the city cleaning service in use, ”said the spokesman for the Leipzig transport company Marc Backhaus.
Meter by meter, the tracks should be cleared.
“We hope for emergency operation on Tuesday, but normal operation is not yet in sight,” explained Backhaus.
In addition to the snowfall, the biggest problem was the strong wind, which had caused strong winds on Monday.
As a result, all tram and bus traffic in the trade fair city had been stopped, and the regional buses did not run in the region.
Even in Dresden and Chemnitz, public transport passengers cannot yet expect regular operation.
"We hope for stability in operation, but there will still be delays on some connections," emphasized Falk Lösch from the Dresden transport company.
It takes a lot of work to free the tracks from the enormous amounts of snow.

The weather forecast makes the transport companies confident.
According to the German Weather Service, no new snow should come in the next few days.
However, the white splendor is retained, because it will be extremely frosty until the weekend.
During the day, temperatures hardly rose above minus seven degrees, at night double-digit values below zero are to be expected.
It could be particularly cold on Wednesday night.
If it clears up, local severe frost with minus 20 degrees is possible.
