Bus trips in Recklinghausen: More night express after New Year's Eve!

On January 7, 2025, there were several developments in local public transport and security measures in the region around Bottrop and Gelsenkirchen. The vestic buses are now more reliable, which is a positive message for the commuters.

Another important point that was taken on that day are the violations of the sale of New Year's fireworks that were found. Here the authorities seem to be attentive to ensure security. In addition, the new digital dog brand is sent in Gelsenkirchen, which is a relief for dog owners. The court road was closed in Bottrop, which may lead to traffic disruptions.
