Overview
- Sunday and holiday timetables apply on December 25–26, following Christmas Eve reductions such as Hamburg’s shift to 20‑minute U‑ and S‑Bahn intervals from about 18:00 with additional line‑specific tweaks.
- Berlin’s BVG is running continuous overnight U‑Bahn service through the holiday period (except U4) and on New Year’s Eve, with U5 skipping Brandenburger Tor from 16:00 and possible evening access closures between Hauptbahnhof and Alexanderplatz.
- Munich keeps the U‑Bahn operating through New Year’s Eve with a densified service until about 02:00 before switching to the weekend night network, while night buses and trams run at 30‑minute intervals and several bus routes are diverted for city celebrations including along Ludwigstraße.
- Leipzig maintains a 15‑minute base service across the period but pauses operations around 23:45–00:30 on New Year’s Eve, disables most stop ticket machines from December 30 to January 2, and suspends the mobility‑escort service until January 2.
- Chemnitz runs Saturday‑style service until roughly 15:45 on December 24 with timed rendezvous at the central stop, then pauses service on New Year’s Eve until 00:45 before offering 30‑minute connections, with regular night lines not operating that night.
