The agony of the U5: too full, too little clocks, short trains - the suffering of the Berlin commuters.

The article on B.Z. Berlin describes the experience of the author Martina Hafner as a commuter on the U5 in Berlin. She reports that subway line 5 is often overcrowded during rush hour traffic and the clocking is not sufficiently tight. She also mentions that short trains are occasionally used, which still worsens the situation. Hafner describes how difficult it is to find a seat in the crowded car or to get in at all.

As a Berlin citizen who regularly uses the subway line 5, I can confirm Hafner's experience. The U5 is one of the most frequented lines in Berlin and is used by many commuters to get to the main train station. The U5 is often overcrowded during rush hour traffic, which leads to an unpleasant and stressful journey. There is no sufficient seating, and sometimes it is even difficult to get on the train at all.

This also has local effects on the city of Berlin. The overcrowded subway trolleys make everyday life difficult and can lead to delays and irregularities in public transport. In addition, it can lead to inconvenience for passengers who want to get out at certain stations such as Alexanderplatz. In such situations, there are tumultuous scenes, since passengers who want to get out have to make their way through the crowd.

The problem of overcrowded subway cars on the U5 has been in existence for years and has so far changed little, as Hafner also mentioned in her article. In order to move more people to switch to public transport, measures must be taken to increase the capacity of the subway and to make the time more closely made. This is the only way to have a more pleasant and stress -free trip to work or school in Berlin.
