Against the double-decker buses in Berlin: Almost a quarter of the new vehicles in the workshop

Doppeldeckerbusse gehören zu den Wahrzeichen Berlins. Mit ihren vielen Sitzplätzen und dem Oberdeck, von dem aus man eine fantastische Aussicht auf die Stadt hat, sind sie bei Fahrgästen sehr beliebt. Doch in letzter Zeit scheint ihre Präsenz auf den Straßen Berlins abgenommen zu haben, wie eine aktuelle Bilanz der Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) zeigt. Obwohl neue Doppeldeckerbusse bereits ausgeliefert wurden, befinden sich mehr als ein Viertel von ihnen momentan in der Werkstatt.

Against the double-decker buses in Berlin: Almost a quarter of the new vehicles in the workshop

double -decker buses are among the landmarks of Berlin. With their many seats and the upper deck, from which you have a fantastic view of the city, they are very popular with passengers. But lately her presence on the streets of Berlin seems to have decreased, as a current record of the Berlin Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) shows.

Although new double -decker buses have already been delivered, there are currently more than a quarter of them in the workshop. This means that the number of moving double -decker buses is drastically reduced. There are still some older models in use, but these should also be decommissioned by the end of the year.

The reasons for the increased failures and exhaust patterns are not well known. It is believed that the double -decker buses are more susceptible to technical problems due to their size and complexity. In addition, signs of wear could play a role due to the frequent use and high passenger numbers.

For passengers who like to drive with the double -decker, the situation will certainly be disappointing. Finally, the spaciousness and the good view are among the attractions of these buses. However, the BVG assures that they will do their best to improve the operation of the double -decker buses.

Despite the current difficulties, the BVG continues to endeavor to make public transport in Berlin efficiently and comfortably. In addition to the double -decker, the BVG also offers a variety of other buses that offer passengers a comfortable and reliable way to explore the city.

Overall, it remains to be seen how the situation around the double -decker buses in Berlin will develop. It is to be hoped that the BVG will be able to fix the technical problems and soon enable passengers to make a pleasant journey in the popular double -decker again.
