agree  philgoddard

agree  writeaway: don't see the problem-or what else it could be
15 mins
agree  Colin Rowe: "special" quite possibly (but not necessarily) in the sense of "additional"
24 mins
neutral  EdithK: the question also included the "Messe" bit, IMO the whole term should be answered, I doubt exhibition would be necessarily understood to be a trade show or trade fair
32 mins
  -> Without entering into futher research (which I simply haven't time for today), I have no idea what the Messe refers to - hence the brackets and my comment. The asker has presumably already translated this term.
neutral  Hermann: I am not sure whether 'arrangements' is the best option here. They are referring here to a special bus service.

agree  casper: my thought, too

agree  Hermann
1 min
neutral  writeaway: agree 100% with trade show. but a shuttle goes back and forth between specific points. If the bus is following a route around town, it's not a shuttle (imo-you are free to convince me I'm wrong... ;-) )
2 mins
disagree  Goldcoaster: if you look at the website, it is definitely not a shuttle service

neutral  writeaway: planes, trains, boats? it's just a bus here....... travel services is too broad imo
24 mins
  -> It is just bus services in this instance (hence why it's in brackets as an option in my answer). Verkehr as a header could indeed imply a wider range of travel options.
