Route 18 Journey to Sports Park East
Regensburg residents and visitors will soon have a new way to travel between Sportpark Ost and the city's public transportation network, as a new bus route is set to commence on July 1, 2025. This route will include several adjustments due to construction work, lasting approximately until September 25, 2025.
During this period, four existing bus lines – 2, C2, 4/C4, and N3 – will undergo rerouting and detours around the university area, near Sportpark Ost. Key details regarding these changes include:
- **Bus line 2** will be rerouted via Theodor-Storm-Straße to Karl-Stieler-Straße and will end at Universität. Stops at Wolfgangschule Nord and Karthauser Straße will not be served, but all stops on the detour route will be served. - **Bus line C2** will be detoured in both directions between Justizgebäude and Universität via Friedenstraße and Universitätsstraße. Stops like Gutenbergstraße, Nibelungenstraße, Theodor-Storm-Straße, Wolfgangschule Nord, Karthauser Straße, Augsburger Straße, and Theresienkirche will not be served during this time. However, all detour stops will be served. - **Bus lines 4 and C4** will be rerouted in both directions between Nibelungenstraße and Universität via Karthauser Straße/Bischof-Wittmann-Straße, Hofgartenweg, and Universitätsstraße. Stops Theodor-Storm-Straße, Wolfgangschule Nord, and Karthauser Straße will not be served, with only Augsburger Straße stop on the detour being served. - **Bus line N3** will be rerouted between Universität and Neuprüll via Universitätsstraße – Karl-Stieler-Straße and back, with stops Karthauser Straße, Wolfgangschule Süd, Geibelplatz, and Graßer Weg not served. All detour stops will be served.
While specific information about a newly established bus route connecting Sportpark Ost directly to the public transportation network is not explicitly detailed, it is likely that Sportpark Ost will be better connected via these changes, including possibly new or temporarily added stops along these detour routes. For the most accurate and current information, including any newly established stops related to Sportpark Ost, checking the RVV app or the official RVV website is recommended.
In addition to these changes, a new bus line 18 will connect Sportpark Ost to the "Daimlerstraße" stop via Guerickestraße to Zeißstraße. Starting on July 1, 2025, bus line 18 will run from Regensburg's train station to the "Runtingerstraße" stop via Guerickestraße to Zeißstraße. A new stop, "Sportpark Ost," will be created at Sportpark Ost, and the "Sportpark Ost" stop will have a turning loop for the bus to return via Guerickestraße to the train station.
Regular buses, not the Emil, will be used on bus line 18. No information is currently available regarding the frequency of the buses on this new route, or the cost of using this new bus service. It is also unclear whether this is a new bus line or an extension of an existing one.
This restructuring enhances connectivity around the university area, which is near Sportpark Ost, thereby improving the link to public transport. Residents and visitors can look forward to a more convenient and streamlined travel experience between Sportpark Ost and the city's public transportation network.
