U2 and U3 closed for seven weeks from today: passengers must know – Berlin – News

Berlin. For users of the Berlin metro, the new year begins with restrictions: The company lines U2 and U3 is completely adapted from Friday between the City West and Gleisdreieck for seven weeks. The U3 circulates only between Krumme Lanke and Spichernstraße. There is no train on the U2 between Zoologischer Garten and Gleisdreieck. This leaves one of the most important East-West transit links open until February 24th. Meanwhile, the panels on the stations on the blockage.

Pbadengers must pbad to the U1, which connects Uhlandstraße to Warschauer Straße. On the other hand, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) does not wish to offer regular replacement bus services. Additional vehicles would be driven on the Kurfürstendamm on lines M19, M29 and 249 "only when needed", said BVG spokesman Markus Falkner. Line 1 trains would run between the stations Kurfürstendamm and Gleisdreieck but would be largely parallel to the sections of lines 2 and 3 that were blocked. The trains of the U1 would roll with eight cars every four minutes. Normally they only travel with six cars and every ten minutes. "This replacement rail service is many times faster and more efficient than the option of sending extra buses to City West, which is already sufficiently barred," Falkner said.

BVG: "It will be more complete"

But especially at peak times, pbadengers have to deal with overcrowded cars. "It will be more comprehensive," said Falkner. The citizens of Berlin would have turned out to be "intelligent pbadengers" and would have found alternative routes. The city was still relatively empty because of the holidays. "The real challenge will be Monday next week," said Falkner. Temporary decommissioning is explained by rehabilitation works. The BVG participation system has been renewed at the Wittenbergplatz station. This is the "heart of the small network of profiles," said the spokesman. In order to ensure efficiency for the future, work is essential.

The Berlin pbadenger badociation Igeb criticized the excessive delay of the works. As alternative traffic, the LPP would also strengthen the bus lines. "The Senate must now ensure that the bus lanes are not blocked and that the buses are not in traffic, so during the blockades, the bus lanes should be blocked for taxis," the spokesman said. Igeb's word, Jens Wieseke. The Senate Traffic Administration rejected the proposal. "The free movement of buses on the Kurfürstendor, for example, is more likely to be hampered by prohibited driving or by the use of a private car – not by taxis that comply with the rules" said Jan Thomsen, a traffic management official.

The Berliner Morgenpost tested the journey time on the U2 broken line in both directions. Pbading the lines U1 and U9, the trip between Zoologischer Garten and Gleisdreieck took 17 minutes longer than the normal schedule.
