Public transport is always at a standstill here.

Tens of Thousands of Transport Workers Walk off Job in Germany – Commuters across Germany faced ‌freezing ​temperatures and empty platforms on ‌Monday as tens of thousands of public transport workers ​walked off the job in a strike called by trade union Verdi, shutting down ‍bus and tram services in ​most cities.

Verdi, which represents nearly 100,000 transport workers, called the strike after ​talks with ⁠municipal and state employers over working conditions stalled last week.
