- The Berlin subway faces significant challenges, as passengers must continue to expect unreliable services. BVG CEO Henrik Falk explains that the situation cannot be quickly improved due to the aging fleet and necessary investments in new trains. A major three-billion-euro investment project to renew the subway fleet is underway, but the first series vehicles are expected to be delivered only in 2025.
- BVG is also responsible for bus and tram operations, which are affected by staff shortages. Falk emphasizes the need for more drivers to meet increased demands, as turnover in the driving staff has risen. Additionally, it is expected that more new employees will have limited or no German language skills, which could complicate communication with passengers.
- Despite the difficulties, Falk sees BVG as well-positioned compared to other cities. Bus services have stabilized, and the BVG has hired many new employees in the past year. The focus is on aligning the timetable with reality and increasing operational reliability to meet passengers' needs.
- Regarding environmental goals, BVG plans to decarbonize its bus fleet by 2030, emphasizing electrification. Future trials with autonomous vehicles aim to innovate mobility in Berlin. Fare prices are likely to rise to secure financing for the public transport system, with BVG advocating for a simplification of the fare structure.
