Berlin, Germany
| The Berlin tramway (German: Straßenbahn
Berlin) is the main tram system in Berlin, Germany. It is one of the
oldest tram networks in the world having its origins in 1865 and is
operated by Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), which was founded in 1929.
It is notable for being the third-largest tram system in the world,
after Melbourne and St. Petersburg. Berlin's streetcar system is made up
of 22 lines that operate across a standard gauge network, with almost
800 stops and measuring almost 190 kilometres (120 miles) in route
length and 430 kilometres (270 miles) in line length. Nine of the lines,
called Metrotram, are operated continuously around the clock, and are
identified with the letter "M" before their number; the other thirteen
lines are regular city tram lines and are identified by just a line
number. Most of the recent network is within the confines of the former East Berlin—tram lines within West Berlin having been replaced by buses during the division of Berlin (the first extension into West Berlin opened in 1994 on today's M13). In the eastern vicinity of the city there are also three private tram lines that are not part of the main system, whereas to the south-west of Berlin is the Potsdam tram system with its own network of lines. |
