Bocholt city bus not affected by the strike

As announced this week by the trade unions Verdi, a warning strike with nationwide effects in local transport (except for the federal state of Bavaria) will take place next Friday, 2 February.

The Bocholt city and TaxiBus routes are not affected by this strike, as the employees of the city bus service provider WB Westfalen Bus GmbH, as a group company of Deutsche Bahn AG, are not covered by the Verdi trade union under the municipal collective agreement TV-N, but are represented by the EVG trade union (Eisenbahn- und Verkehrsgewerkschaft).

All Bocholt city and taxi buses will therefore run as scheduled on Friday, according to StadtBus Bocholt GmbH.

Further information and free advice on bus & rail is available in person or by telephone at the StadtBusCenter at the Bustreff (Europaplatz) during the usual opening hours (Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, Sat: 9am-14pm, 02871-219190)
