IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND EVENTS
Deviations from the regular timetable
Monday 7 September to Friday 9 October 2026 – Stop No. 8, Holzdamm, cannot be served
Bus stop no. 8, “Holzdamm”, will not be served by buses on route A from Monday 7 September 2026 to Friday 9 October 2026 due to construction work. Instead, we recommend getting on and off at stop no. 6, Hauptbahnhof/Kirchenallee, or stop no. 7, Hauptbahnhof/Spitalerstrasse.
Saturday, 10 October 2026 – Demonstration in the city centre and full closure of the A1
Due to a demonstration and the full closure of the A1, severe traffic disruption is expected throughout the day on Saturday, 10 October 2026, along the route of Line A. Unannounced cancellations of stops, as well as diversions and deviations from the timetable, are to be expected.
Consequently, regular service will no longer be possible from around 2.00 pm, so we strongly recommend that you only get on and off at stop no. 1, St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, or stop no. 6, Hauptbahnhof/Kirchenallee. If traffic disruption caused by the demonstration and increased congestion due to the closure of the A1 becomes too severe, Line A is likely to be suspended.
Sunday, 11 October 2026 – Full closure of the A1
The full closure of the A1 will continue until 5.00 am on Monday morning, meaning that increased traffic congestion is also to be expected throughout the city on Sunday. This may also lead to deviations from the timetable.
Days when the city tour is severely affected by events:
Sunday, 25 October 2026 – Half Marathon; city tours will only be possible on a very limited basis from the afternoon onwards.
