Before and during the Easter holidays, i.e. from Saturday, April 2nd to Sunday, April 24th, work will be carried out on the tram network at the trade fair, in Sachsenhausen and in Oberrad.

Several train lines are therefore only on partial routes in these three weeks, buses have to be diverted.

Where trams can no longer run, buses are used as a replacement.

The Frankfurt transport company (VGF) and the local transport company Traffiq nevertheless ask their passengers to plan longer travel times.

Details about the changed timetables and new connections can be found

via the RMV app and on the Internet at

rmv-frankfurt.de .

Information is also available around the clock on the RMV service hotline on 0 69/24 24 80 24.

The underground U 4 connects the main station with the stations Festhalle/Messe and Bockenheimer Warte.

The Westbahnhof, Hauptbahnhof, Hauptwache and Lokalbahnhof are all well connected by S-Bahn.
