In May, there are several public holidays where bus services are reduced. Below, you’ll find an overview of how buses operate in your area on the 1st of May, Ascension Day (9th of May), the 17th of May, and during Pentecost (18th-20th of May).

Please note that on the 17th of May, there are children’s parades in many areas in our region where buses operate. Some delay should be expected during the times of these parades, as buses must wait for the roads to clear.
