Overview
- The city converted part of Lindwurmstraße to a roughly 200‑metre bus‑only lane in mid‑July to ease Schienenersatzverkehr while Poccistraße and Goetheplatz U‑bahn stations are renewed.
- Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) reports the lane cuts average replacement‑bus running time by about two minutes and has made bus operations more stable.
- Cyclists and the ADFC have strongly criticized the change because it reverses pieces of last year’s €1.6 million redesign that added protected bike lanes and increased cycling volumes.
- The old narrow 'benutzungspflichtig' bike path remains in place but many riders continue to use the new bus lane, creating legal and safety conflicts on the street.
- City officials plan to keep the measure at least through the start of Oktoberfest and will reevaluate it with a detailed review of traffic data after nearby trackwork ends.
