German Trams- Berlin Trams & Buses

Berlin is the capital of the re-unified Germany. The former West Berlin finished with its trams in the 1960s, but the former East continued to use them, and it is in this area where they flourish today. The system almost has two networks, a smaller one in the historic town of Köpenick, the other in central Berlin with services running through and terminating at Alexanderplatz. The current fleet consists of modernised Tatra KT4Ds, ADtrans/Bombardier GT6N and GT6N-ZRs and modern low floor Bombardier Flexity Berlin F6E, F6Z, F8Z and F8E trams. The fleet is operated by BVG (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe) and is smartly turned out in a yellow livery with white roofs. The modern bus fleet is in the same livery and is also featured on this programme. As well as covering the tram and bus scene in Berlin this DVD also shows the public transport links in Potsdam, Brandenburg and Frankfurt.
