Please note: From late August to mid-October 2026, BERNMOBIL will be replacing the tram tracks on the lower section of Thunstrasse, whilst the City of Bern will be raising the kerb heights at tram stops to ensure barrier-free access to public transport. During the construction work, replacement buses will operate on routes 7 and 8. Route 6 will be suspended between Bern railway station and Egghölzli. Disruption is to be expected. More information here.
