Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe Anstalt des offentlichen Rechts (BVG)

The BVG (Berlin Buses Authority) is the biggest municipal public transport company in Germany and operates the country's largest underground railway system. The first scheduled journey on that network took place almost 100 years ago in February 1902. It is more than one hundred years ago that the first electric tramway served its line in Berlin, September 1895. The network of buses dates from 1847.

Buses operate on 150 day-time lines with a combined length of  1 626 km and a total of 6 579 stops. The BVG provides night-time services on 54 lines with a combined length of 751 km and 3 188 stops. Today, the Berlin underground is a modern, comfortable and environmentally compatible means of transport. The combined length of the lines is 145 km and there are 170 stations. BVG’s 21 tram lines have a combined length of 306 km and 789 stops.

Actually there are 946 visual indicators of the Dynamic Automatic Information System (DAISY) for directly up-to-the-minute information when the next vehicle will arrive. BVG bus lanes have a total length of 101 km. 611 traffic lights can be influenced by buses and trams.

About 1 billion passengers travelled on the BVG public transport system in 2004. Together with other transport operators, the BVG serves a conurbation covering an area of over 1 000 sq. km with a population of 4.3 million.
