from Treptow-Köpenick, Julia Schmitz reports with the following news: "Sternen trip to say goodbye: S-Bahn draws 485 series". According to a report from www.tagesspiegel.de, the S-Bahn in Berlin will take its 485 series out of the company. This decision will also affect the residents of Lichtenberg and Treptow-Köpenick.

The 485 series has been an important part of local public transport in Berlin for many years. It was introduced in the 1980s and has reliably served the S-Bahn routes in the city since then. The decision to take this series out of operation has both positive and negative effects on the population.

On the one hand, the modernization of the S-Bahn network and the vehicle fleet is welcomed. This should improve reliability and comfort for passengers. New trains are introduced, which are equipped with modern technology and should meet the increasing requirements.

On the other hand, the abolition of the 485 series also means a change for the passengers based there. You have to get used to the new trains and its operation and possibly accept longer waiting times while the changeover takes place. However, it is hoped that the modernization of the network will lead to a better and more efficient local transport system in Berlin in the long term.

It is important that those responsible take the effects of this decision on the local population and take suitable measures in order to minimize any inconvenience. The people in Lichtenberg and Treptow-Köpenick are heavily dependent on public transport, so the changeover should be done as smoothly as possible.

Overall, the abolition of the 485 series is a step to modernize the S-Bahn network, which can lead to an improved local transport system in Berlin in the long term. It remains to be seen how the changeover to the residents of Lichtenberg and Treptow-Köpenick will have an impact, and whether the new trains can meet expectations.
