        During public holidays, buses, trams, and suburban trains usually switch to a Sunday or holiday schedule. The intervals between services may be longer than usual, especially in the morning and evening<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        It is advisable to check the current schedule in the carrier's app before traveling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Do you have to work if a holiday falls on a Saturday?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        If an official public holiday falls on a Saturday, employees working a five-day week usually receive an additional day off on another day. The specific date is determined by the employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If the holiday falls on a Sunday, an additional day off is generally not given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
