With STOAG through the great days

The STOAG buses rarely stand still on Carnival days. While Oberhausen is celebrating extensively, the NachtExpress lines run on the nights from Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday until the “normal” regular service starts the next morning. On Altweiber and Rose Monday, the NachtExpresse run until around 1 a.m. Those who party until well into the morning can take the first daily lines from around 4.30 a.m.  

Diversions due to the carnival parades 

When on the children's carnival procession in Osterfeld on Saturday February 18th, there is swaying, the buses bypass the Osterfeld city center extensively. From around 13.00 p.m., bus traffic will be diverted via Werthfeldstrasse, Fahnhorststrasse and Kapellenstrasse. From the “Olga-Park” stop on Werthfeldstraße and a replacement stop on Vestischen Straße, corner of Fahnhorststraße (Lidl-Markt) 

Shuttle buses to downtown Osterfeld. STOAG recommends that drivers park their cars at the park-and-ride facility in Werthfeldstrasse and use the shuttle buses. The normal line route is released again as soon as the street cleaning is completed. 

Am Carnival Sunday, February 19th, The bus traffic will be diverted from around 11.45:XNUMX am due to the carnival parade in the city center. The stops that are in the area of ​​the barrier cannot be approached by the buses. We recommend the “Hauptbahnhof” stop for arrival and departure. Depending on requirements, particularly heavily used lines are reinforced by emergency vehicles.

During this time, the trams only commute between the main train station and Sterkrade-Neumarkt and between Landwehr and Mülheim-Kaiserplatz. When the street cleaning is completely finished at the end of the carnival procession, the streets are cleared again so that the buses can return to the normal route around 18.30 p.m.
