Wipperfeld gets weekend connection: traffic revolution 2026!
An important timetable change will take place in the Oberberg region on January 7, 2026, which will also affect the local bus routes. In preparation for this, OVAG, which operates the public transport network here, has decided to make some adjustments to better take the needs of passengers into account. How Oberberg-current reported, there are numerous changes on various lines.
There is particularly exciting news for the popular line 426: In the future, it will run every two hours on Saturdays and Sundays between Kürten-Furth and the Wipperfürth bus station via Wipperfeld. This means that Wipperfeld, which was previously somewhat remote, will have a direct connection to public transport on the weekends for the first time, which will make many commuters happy. However, the previous hourly connection via Thier will be reduced to every two hours, which means a change for some users.
Extended stops and student transport
Another brilliant achievement is the redesign of the stops. The new “Hochstrasse” stop goes into operation in Wipperfürth. Lines 336, 337 as well as the citizen bus and lines 426, 427 and 429 in the direction of Wipperfürth bus station will stop there. In Waldbröl, the new “Friedenstraße” stop in the direction of “Waldbröl Busbf” replaces the former “Kreissparkasse” stop. With this change, lines 303, 311, 312, 340, 345 and the citizen bus will stop.
But that's not all - to meet students' needs, additional trips will be offered on several routes, including 304, 306, 312, 314, 323, 336 and 346. These adjustments are intended to ensure that students can easily get to their educational institutions.
Developments in the district and beyond
A further look at the traffic situation shows that changes are also coming outside of the bus routes. How obk.de informed, the change in Wipperfürth transport - which was decided by a district council resolution from October 2025 - will be implemented cost-neutrally from existing bus transport capacities. This means there will be no additional costs for passengers, which is very popular in the region.
It is also advisable to follow the new timetables via the OVAG app or website after January 7, 2026 in order to always be up to date. With zeit.de With this in mind, which indicates various timetable changes in public transport, users should be particularly careful during construction work or other changes, as other transport networks are also affected by renovations.
OVAG is striving to continually improve connections in the Oberbergischer Kreis and to use this timetable change as an opportunity to meet the needs of passengers. So if you travel a lot or simply rely on public transport, you should definitely try out the new offers. Those responsible have certainly shown a good hand!
