The DFB Cup quarter-final between FC Bayern and RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena will take place as planned on Wednesday despite the strike by the Verdi union announced for the same day. This is the result of joint efforts by all parties involved, in particular the Munich transport company MVG and the police.
MVG is going to provide a special service, whereby underground trains will run at shorter intervals exclusively between Marienplatz and Fröttmaning from 17:30 CET until the end of service, as is customary for FC Bayern home games. The stations in between will be open for boarding. In addition, the usual bus transfer service from the Donnersberger Brücke S-Bahn station will be increased, this time heading via the Kieferngarten underground station and, if necessary, travelling directly to Karlsplatz (Stachus) after the match. Furthermore, additional shuttle buses will be provided from the car park of the FC Bayern Campus, located just two kilometres from the Allianz Arena.
Despite all efforts, there will be restrictions on arrival and departure. FC Bayern appeals to all fans to allow extra time, to carpool if possible when travelling by car, and asks for your understanding. The Allianz Arena will be accessible from 18:30 on Wednesday and will remain open longer this time. Kick-off is at 20:45.
All information on the public transport situation can be found on the MVG website at mvg.de and in the MVGO app. The relevant reports are continuously updated there. The strike affects the underground, trams and all bus lines up to number 199 in Munich. In addition, the S-Bahn will be severely restricted from 22:20 due to construction work on the secondary main line.
