The Odyssey with the 200 bus: Punctuality in Berlin's local transport leaves something to be desired
Berlin is a pulsating city with a well -developed public transport system. The buses and trains are the backbone of the transport network and enable people to get from A to B quickly and environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, there are also problems here, as the B.Z. reporter Johannes Malinowski reports in his current column. The 200 bus runs across the city every ten minutes and is equipped with an electric drive, which ensures an environmentally friendly transportation.

The Odyssey with the 200 bus: Punctuality in Berlin's local transport leaves something to be desired
Berlin is a vibrant city with a well -developed public transport system. The buses and trains are the backbone of the transport network and enable people to get from A to B quickly and environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, there are problems here too, as the B.Z. reporter Johannes Malinowski reports in his current column.
The 200 bus runs across the city every ten-minute and is equipped with an electric drive, which ensures an environmentally friendly transportation. However, the punctuality of the line is a disaster. In his column, Malinowski describes how he wanted to go home with publications after a concert in the Spandau citadel. Due to replacement traffic on the ring railway, he had to take the subway and S-Bahn and the bus.
But there were problems at the Alexanderplatz/Memhardstraße bus stop. The stop was laid months ago and is now next to a construction site area. You don't like to wait here, especially when you consider that there are no travel gazette at the replacement stops.
Malinowski continues how he and some other passengers are waiting for the bus. First, the departure time is given in three minutes, but 15 minutes and two other buses take place before the right bus finally comes. A woman even waves a taxi, but Malinowski decides against it because he has already paid for the bus ticket.
When Malinowski later checked in the BVG app, he realizes that two buses should already have been left. He is annoyed by the "cheeky refusal of reality" on his cell phone. Later a bus comes even two minutes early, which is a joke in view of the long waiting time. To make matters worse, the batteries of his headphones are also empty.
frustrated, Malinowski finally opted for an Uber that brings him home eight minutes later than planned. Although public transport in Berlin generally works well, there are punctuality problems here and there that can make life difficult for passengers. It is to be hoped that these problems will be resolved in the future so that public transport rides in Berlin will be a pleasant experience for everyone.
