In the run-up to Christmas, STOAG recommends using buses and trams to visit the city center and the new center. Local public transport - especially via the car-free public transport route - is a good alternative to avoiding traffic problems in the run-up to Christmas. On the weekends before Christmas and on the weekend of January 7th and 8th, STOAG will reinforce its lines on the route between the main station, Neue Mitte and Sterkrade. On Saturdays between 14 p.m. and midnight and on Sundays between 24 p.m. and 12 p.m., more buses than usual are in use on the route. The P+R facilities Wertfeldstraße (stop Olga Park) and Landwehr (stop Landwehr) are recommended for drivers.
The Christmas markets in Oberhausen can also be easily reached by buses and trams:
