Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe

company Germany

The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) is the main public transport company in Berlin, responsible for operating the city's trams, buses, and underground trains. Established in 1920, the BVG plays a crucial role in ensuring the mobility of Berlin's residents and visitors. The company has been at the forefront of implementing innovative transport solutions while facing challenges such as labor strikes and infrastructural issues. Recently, the BVG was in the news due to a nationwide strike by the Verdi union, which led to unique arrangements for tram services in Berlin, allowing for 'empty' trams to operate as a compromise to prevent service disruptions.
