See the journey planner for the bus services on Friday

Information on any running services will be updated in the Nysse journey planner from Thursday 1 February at 16:00, and also on the day of the strike on 2 February. You should check the timetable for your own departure just before leaving. The information for the U-lines is not updated in the journey planner, so you should therefore ask the operator to be sure.

Due to the large number of cancelled services, they are not all shown on the Disruptions page. On the X-message service Nysseinfo, cancelled services are exceptionally not shown at all on Friday.

How to find the strike time information for your stop in the journey planner

The journey planner will show you the traffic situation on the day of the strike.

The best way to see the situation on your route is to use the stop search:

1. Select a stop on the map (if you are using a mobile phone, you can open the map by clicking on the Buses and nearby stops on map -button).
2. Select the correct day from the timetable box. Select "tomorrow" if you are looking for Friday on Thursday.
3. Cancelled departures are crossed out in red. Note: In the event of a strike, all departures will at first be cancelled. Operators will add departures back to the timetable according to the driver information they receive.

Please note that U-lines are not Nysse traffic and we cannot remove them from the service. They will therefore appear incorrectly in the journey planner on the day of the strike.
