Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (German: Berlin Transportation Company), often abbreviated the BVG, manages the Berlin U-Bahn, the Berlin Straßenbahn, and the Berlin bus network, as well as several ferry lines.
The BVG also took part in the Berlin M-Bahn project in the 1980s until the beginning of the 1990s. The project was dropped with the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was also responsible for the Berlin S-Bahn of West Berlin between 1984 and 1994. The S-Bahn is currently managed by the S-Bahn Berlin GmbH.
The BVG launched MetroNetz on 12 December 2004 which remodeled the tram and bus network to create 24 tram and bus lines (with M prefix) covering parts of the city that weren't served by S-Bahn or subway.
