Shift change on Friday followingnoon completed emergency plan

The reason for scaling back the emergency plan was the upcoming shift change among colleagues on duty. According to Backhaus, it should then become clear whether the new staff will take part in the strike or not. “Most of them will probably not be willing to work,” predicted Backhaus. Passengers should not assume that they will be able to use public transport in the coming hours, he emphasized. On Saturday morning it became clear that the LVB spokesman was right.
