Berlin is a “middle of Chaos”, estimates that the BVG. Three million passengers transported per day, the S-Bahn is about 1.4 million. The three millions of the LOB does not fit in the trains, that’s for sure. After all, the S want to create a track to send on the day of the strike, between 5.30 PM and 14 PM 50 additional trips as an amplifier on two routes, namely the S1 (Wannsee-Oranienburg) and the S5 (direction: Strausberg–West cross). In these 50 trips, 50,000 people can fit. What are the other 2.95 million to make? We have been looking for opportunities.
by TAXI
Approximately 8000 Taxis in Berlin, of which 6500 are organized in the same call center, but who wants one to pre-order, has bad cards. “We cannot accept binding pre-orders,” said Hermann Waldner, managing Director of the four major taxi providers. Although you could pre-order, “and we of course do what we can, mostly it works,” says Waldner. “If you imagine a day like this – then it is simply not possible to guarantee a car. There will not be enough cars.“
car RENTAL
The car sharing provider Car2Go, it has about 1200 in the city area of distributed vehicles ready to maintain and to refuel. However, the Car2go can be reserved only 20 minutes in advance – longer is expensive. Since November, the reservation may be extended for 1.90 euros to 15 minutes, and as often as you like. Competitor Drive Now was unable to reach, nor was the rental bike provider next bike.
The car-sharing provider Drivy has used the strike as a PR opportunity: new customers get 30 euros credited to. The average daily price of a Drivy cars sun at 29 euros, the company said. Since the announcement of the strike, an increase in demand.

communities
Whether at least the Berlkönig is in operation? “Theoretically, Yes, since employees are not employees of the BVG,” said BVG spokesman Markus Falkner, but: “in practice, you do not know, because the cars are on the premises of the BVG.”
The Berlkönig communities, the LPP-offer to the formation of driving. Such can also be about other Apps. Speaking of carpooling: blessed is the one who can make private.
