GERMANY
Berlin’s public transport system will come to a halt on Monday, 01 April as employees plan to strike for the whole day. Passengers who use buses, underground trains (U-Bahn) and trams will be affected while S-Bahn lines are not directly affected because these trains belong to the operator Deutsche Bahn.
