Today the BVG wanted to celebrate the premiere of its new XXL-Tram, but it did not. Which problem slows down the "Urbanliner".
On this Monday the first urban liners on the M4 line should go into operation. However, the supervisory authority demands recalculations. Now it is clear where.
The urban liner was supposed to start today and start his maiden voyage – but the new XXL tram of the BVG has to stop for up to 300 passengers. Lack of tests at Alexanderplatz is the fault, where the technical supervisory authority still has to check static calculations. rbb-reporter Ute Schumacher reports about this.
The new Berlin tram of the type "Urbanliner" was to carry passengers for the first time this week, but the registration is still missing. Shortly before the planned premiere trip, the BVG withdrew the date. The reasons remain officially vague, political pressure is growing. The planned introduction of the urban liner is again delayed, so passengers are still dependent on the existing vehicle fleet. / © Photo: depositphotos.com © Title image: BVG…
From this Monday on the tram line line of the M4 was to drive the XXL tram "Urbanliner". This became (again) nothing. There should be no calculations as to how the weight of the tram affects the underground tunnel at Alexanderplatz.
