New stop at Ullersdorfer Platz: More safety for students!

From today, June 30, 2025, there will be some exciting innovations in local public transport at Ullersdorfer Platz in Dresden. The construction work in the area around the Prießnitz Bridge has now been completed and regular tram services on Bautzner Landstrasse have resumed. This not only relieves the burden on residents, but also significantly increases safety and comfort for passengers.

A special highlight is the newly established stop for tram line 11 and bus line 61. This is now located at the entrance to the track loop at Ullersdorfer Platz, directly at the restaurant on platform 11. This means that passengers will have optimal access to public transport in the future without having to cross Bautzner Landstrasse - a measure that significantly reduces the risk of accidents.

Improved transport connections for getting to school

One of the biggest improvements is the positive impact on the way to school for the students of the Bühlau high school. The new stop will significantly simplify the connection to the high school, which not only makes everyday school life easier for the young people, but also ensures a higher level of safety. According to MeiDresden, tram line 11 will return to its original route after all construction work has been completed. It will now connect the Bühlau district, the Weißer Hirsch and the city center without having to change trains.

These changes will not only improve local public transport in the city, but will also significantly increase the comfort for passengers on lines 11 and 61. The newly installed stop lighting system at the stop guarantees safe passenger transfers, which is particularly advantageous for families and older people.

Public transport in Dresden

Dresden offers a wide range of transport connections. In addition to trams and buses, citizens also have access to ferries, cable cars and narrow-gauge railways. Moovit supports public transport users in Dresden by providing them with step-by-step directions, real-time information on arrival times and detailed network maps. This means passengers always find the best route to their destination.

In addition, the Upper Elbe Transport Association (VVO) ensures that the various public transport providers work well together. This enables passengers to use a dense transport network between regions with just one ticket. The offer extends beyond the city limits to the picturesque surroundings of Saxony.

Overall, the redesign of Ullersdorfer Platz and the improvement of local public transport are a step in the right direction. It remains exciting to see how the citizens of Dresden will accept the new circumstances.
