Mönchengladbach has a bus system but it's weak. From 8 pm it's of no practical help and from 11 pm there are no buses. Buses start from 5 am 9am on Sundays!. On Fridays and Saturdays there is a Night Bus from the party area Alter Markt / Waldhausener Str. to the outskirts, but only until 3 am. You'll always find a taxi of course but they can be costly. Biking is advisable only from April to October, watch out for sudden weather changes. Distances within the center are easily walked, but Rheydt and the outskirts are not.
