Several central Frankfurt bus routes have been running as "Metro bus routes" every weekday around the clock at frequent intervals.

Metro bus routes: 24-hour operation and a promise of regular service

The Metro bus routes M32, M34, M36, M43, M46, M55, M60 and M72/M73 run around the clock every day of the week, and they run quite frequently: minimum every ten minutes during the day, every quarter-hour on Sundays and public holidays, and every half hour at night. Apart from a few minor exceptions, these frequencies represent the basic minimum service on the Metro bus routes. Depending on passenger volume, the buses run even more frequently.
