The Bus was not to be overlooked, he came from Lithuania, which everybody could see, it was on the plate. Those who wanted could learn the code in all the rest by heart, the Bus was long enough. In any case, he stood on the Wednesday long enough on the bus lane in the Otto-Braun-Straße in Mitte, the snake plenty of BVG buses around him, and hundreds of Bicycle riders in the massive traffic had to thread, at the risk of life, of course.

But no one handle. And the BVG? .

of Course, there are since the summer of 2018, the mobility law, therefore, the BVG is allowed to tow even and does not need to call the police, orders a towing service. The BVG wants to get bus lanes, and tracks much faster than in the past.

That’s the theory.

In practice, is to rely on the BVG unchanged on the order office and the police. To allow the LPP time soon, cars to tow, it’s not that simple. This includes appropriate administrative provisions are necessary, in which the Details are dealt with. And these regulations are being drawn up.

80 BVG employees. at the police Academy

trained It is also a complex issue, after all, be transmitted by the law of sovereign tasks to the BVG And it must be ensured that it is not through negligence or ignorance the wrong car to be towed. An extreme example: A doctor in the Emergency is to treat the software differently than a housewife, the shopping in the supermarket and your car on the bus lane has parked.

Starting in April to be trained 80 BVG employees for exactly these tasks at the police Academy. One half is hunting then to be wrong parkerizing on bus lanes, the other will operate the six towing vehicles, with which the LPP in use.

to be responsible for the administrative provision of the Senate-traffic management. A spokeswoman says that in addition to the formation of the BVG-forces, it is also a legally binding fees must be created. The Senate interior administration, which is involved in the vote, has forwarded its opinion to already to the traffic management.

“We are on a good way”

“for Us, it goes primarily to the issue of legal training of the BVG employees and the Interaction of the LPP and the police. We are on a good path.“ When this trail is finally rode off, this is currently unclear.

2018 were seen 10.117 incorrectly Parker on bus lanes and bus stops, 5680 a tow truck moved the car. The most common operations there are in the main street in Schöneberg, in the Karl-Liebknecht-Straße in Mitte and the Ku’damm. Currently, only 14 of the bus lane-managers are on the road, the police or the regulatory Agency alert, so that an obstacle is cleared.

bus drivers, however, see the wrong Parker. Whether you can call the police, says a LOB-speaker, “depends on the degree of traffic obstruction. In the case of a hazard is always implemented as soon as possible. The decision of the bus lane-supervisor or Transport officer on the spot.“

fines will not deter apparently, the regulatory agencies and the police, again and again. Whether the driver of the bus was given a Parking ticket, is not known. Sufficient time would have been. The vehicle after the traffic there.
