Berlin by bus |
Throughout the city Berlin, Berlin |
Buses are an integral part of Berlin's public transport system. Over 200 bus lines run between Spandau in the west and Hoppegarten in the east, between Blankenfelde in the north and Lichtenrade in the south. The bus system covers any gaps in the U-Bahn / S-Bahn network and is a quick and reliable form of getting from A to B. Non-Germans will be amazed at the accuracy of the timetables which hang at every bus stop. If the timetable says the bus is due at 9.07, it will inevitably roll in at precisely that time - an amazing feat of logistics, bearing in mind the congestion on Berlin's roads. Bus stops are marked with a large H (for Haltestelle). If you are travelling after 8pm, you need to show the driver your ticket when you get on. Tickets can be bought from the driver, who can also give change, although high-denomination notes may not be accepted. The name of the next station is announced by loudspeaker or on a display board. When you want to get off, press the one of the red buttons located on the handrails. Buses operate regularly on most routes (normally every 10 minutes) from about 4a until midnight. Night buses run 70 routes throughout the city between midnight and 4am, although the routes often differ from the daytime ones. Buses leave from popular nightlife areas like Ku'damm, Alexanderplatz or Hackescher Markt. Review © 2009, Wcities |
