Well, are DVB buses now also running in Leipzig?

Due to the large number of construction sites, buses from Dresden have to be used in Leipzig.

Leipzig – Drive the Dresdner Verkehrsbetriebe (DVB) now until after Leipzig? Some trade fair townspeople are currently rubbing their eyes in amazement when they get into a yellow and black articulated bus.

Because inside, too, is not the familiar blue of the Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe (LVB), but the black and yellow DVB design from the state capital.

The reason is a bottleneck in Leipzig. LVB spokesman Marc Backhaus: “Due to the many construction sites, we have to use numerous rail replacement services. And our own 166 buses were not enough.”

Therefore, six black and yellow diesel buses were rented from Dresden.

The deal runs until July 10th, but should be extended at the request of the people of Leipzig.

The DVB buses currently operate a line between the main train station and the east of the exhibition center.
