Blocks to the U-Bahn : transport Senator: No replacement transport? This is not right

The traffic boss expressed now but the traffic in Berlin. Two days after the publication of the U-Bahn closures in the West-City by the daily mirror traffic Senator Regine Günther reported now (independent, Green). In a statement, the sent you on Thursday, it is contrary to the information that in January and February, the locked U-Bahn lines 2 and 3 "no substitute".

"On the U1 are twice as many trains and even in the City West bus routes, if required, be reinforced," writes the transport Senator. "So the message is that there is no replacement, really."

The BVG, however, remains in its indication that there will be no rail replacement transport. Passengers have to detour around the blocked sections on other U-Bahn lines. A stop bus traffic, it is according to the BVG-information for two reasons: firstly, the traffic chaos in the West-the City is too large, on the other, all the buses are needed because the time is blocked in the South of neukölln, a piece of the U7. There, buses have to drive, because there is no Alternative.

Günther stated that "bus services will be strengthened". As it was said in the case of the LPP, could be used "on demand", for example, on the M19 and M29, one or two additional vehicles. The U1 is a drive with double the number of trains during the closure of U2, and U3, had announced the BVG already. "This offered replacement transport by metro is much faster and more efficient than the Option, an additional SEV-buses to send in the already often-up of City-West. This solution was coordinated in advance with the authorities," said BVG spokesman Markus Falkner on Wednesday.

to order On Tuesday, the BVG announced at a press conference, the blocking of the two Central metro lines officially. The daily mirror had published the plans on Monday. On Tuesday, the transport Senator, Günther had to report in the Senate meeting, the Governing mayor, Michael Müller, of the plans by the article in the daily mirror.

Müller (SPD) had invited the transport Senator Regine Günther and the economy, Senator Ramona Pop as a BVG-Chairman of the Supervisory Board (both Green), a replacement transport. Müller said on Tuesday during the Senate meeting, it is incomprehensible why this was not noticed.

Here is the explanation of the transport Senator invested in the wording: "In the past few years has been much too little in the infrastructure and trains. The avenges itself today by many malfunctions and failures. Therefore, we are against the taxes now. In the new year three major construction projects are added to the U2, U3 and U7. This makes many roads in the city difficult. The LPP provides for replacement connections: the U1 and twice as many trains will run as usual, and in the City West bus routes be increased. In this respect, the message that there is no replacement, is the correct one. Even if the repair of the subway lines for passengers with limitations, they are necessary in order for the U-Bahn to work reliably in the long term."
