Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) - At the beginning of the Pentecost holidays, it's full on the rails and at the airport. The Frankfurt airport operator Fraport reported a "busy day" with 175,000 passengers on Saturday: "That's a lot." There are "waiting times at peak times," reported a spokesman. Fraport had cut around 4,000 jobs during the Corona crisis - now there is a lack of staff.
After the introduction of the 9-euro ticket, travelers reported on Saturday that the trains were sometimes completely overcrowded. According to Deutsche Bahn, regional trains, especially to tourist destinations, are “as expected very much in demand”. In view of the high occupancy, it cannot be guaranteed that travelers will be able to take their bicycles with them, said a spokesman for Deutsche Bahn. Shortly before starting their journey, passengers should find out more from the local transport associations or via the DB Navigator.
