Info
The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (German for Berlin Transport Company) is the main public transport company of Berlin, the capital city of Germany. It manages the city's U-Bahn underground railway, tram, bus, replacement services (EV) and ferry networks, but not the S-Bahn urban rail system.The generally used abbreviation, BVG, has been retained from the company's original name, Berliner Verkehrs Aktiengesellschaft (Berlin Transport Corporation). Subsequently, the company was renamed Berliner Verkehrs-Betriebe. During the division of Berlin, the BVG was split between BVG (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe Gesellschaft - West Berlin) and BVB (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe - East Berlin), also known as the Volkseigenes Kombinat Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVB). After reunification, the current formal name was adopted.
