Public transport in Debrecen will operate on a special timetable during the 2026 Campus Festival, which takes place in the Nagyerdő area between July 22 and 26. To accommodate the expected increase in passenger numbers, DKV Zrt. will increase service frequency on Tram Line 1 and on bus routes 22, 22Y, 24 and 24Y.
As in previous years, the C1, C2 and C3 night bus services will operate throughout the festival. However, the regular 92, 93 and 94 night bus routes will be suspended, with their services incorporated into the C1–C3 network.
Bus diversions from July 20
Due to festival preparations, several bus routes will be diverted from the start of service on Monday, July 20, until the end of operations on Sunday, July 26.
The affected routes are:
- Bus 16
- Bus 22
- Bus 22Y
- Bus 24
- Bus 24Y
The buses will follow temporary routes around the Nagyerdő area. During the diversion period, between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., buses 22, 22Y, 24 and 24Y will not serve the Northern Cemetery Main Gate and Southern Gate stops, as the cemetery is closed during those hours.
More frequent daytime services
Tram Line 1
From July 22 to July 26, Tram Line 1 will operate on a more frequent schedule from 5:00 p.m. until the end of daily service.
Bus routes 22, 22Y, 24 and 24Y
These routes will also operate more frequently from 5:00 p.m. until the end of service.
During cemetery opening hours, additional festival services will bypass the cemetery stops, while after 8:00 p.m. all buses will avoid the cemetery entirely.
Tram Line 1 will run throughout the night
For the duration of the Campus Festival, Tram Line 1 will operate overnight, providing continuous service between Nagyállomás (Main Railway Station) and the festival area.
From the end of normal daytime service until the following morning, trams will depart from Nagyállomás every 14–16 minutes.
