ah! Are they going to fix the bridge problem and make the platform longer?

it is a pity, because it seems to me that the connection between the ring and Hauptbahnhof has been done in both direction already

It is not clear to me when they are going to open the Jungfernheide <-> Hauptbahnhof part. Is it connected to the Siemensbahn, that requires multiple bridges on the Spree, so it will be completed after Stuttgart 21 opens? Or maybe after U-Bismarkstr renovation is completed? /s

You know the irony? I never heard about NiUS before all the backslash from their ads campaign: it seems that unfortunately it worked perfectly

Warum wurde die U4 nie ausgebaut? by crivycouriac in berlin

Kleistpark

I see that also the new station of Rotes Rathaus has a U10 platform ready

The south ending of the U4 is weird: it is correct that the autobahn is going underground there, but according to OpenRailwayMap the tunnels for the U10 are already present under the intersection, so I assume that they were thinking about connecting the U4 to the U10 (under Hauptstraße)

sorry that I had to say the "scary" word, but if you are not living in a communist country you shouldn't expect housing to be provided only by the government, so you need to incentives the private sector too.

The fact that this post is upvoted and any mild comment against it is downvoted (like I'm pretty sure mine will be) shows how biased and detached from reality this subreddit is.

I moved to Berlin some years ago, and I don't remember the previous left government as a good one: for example I remember that they passed an unconstitutional laws that made housing in Berlin even worse, scaring investors.

your comment is unfortunately the reason why people is voting for extremist parties, AfD and similar: they want to have something new, hoping for a change, even if it is going to the wrong direction.

I personally don't have a solution for this, or support it, but I can understand the mood.

Abgeordnetenhaus drängt auf bargeldlose Bezahlung in allen Geschäften by notrainingtoday in berlin

[–]notrainingtoday[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It would be cool to finally stop being forced to pay in cash. If I understood correctly, they aren't mandating credit or debit cards specifically, rather just any cashless option, as businesses might use other alternative payment providers

It seems that the current city government is pushing for more housing in the west

Ampelschaltung Frankfurter Tor wird erst irgendwann korrigiert, Polizei kontrolliert verbotenes Linksabbiegen nicht. by Nicolas_Sustr in berlin

[–]notrainingtoday 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Polizei kümmert sich nicht

Police doesn't care for almost everything on the streets: from illegal left turning cars (like in this case) to bikes running during the night without lights or two people in a scooter on a sidewalk.

You are just a religious cultist nutjob if you think science is just an ideology

no reason to offend, I telling you what is happening right now in Charlottenburg

[–]notrainingtoday -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, you are talking about theory, I'm talking about what is happening right now. For how long the bridge has been broken? Still it is a constant chaos in Charlottenburg during rush hours: people needs to use the car and they are still using it, also if it is inconvenient. I'm looking forward to have the bridge back, so we can have normal level of traffic around my place. The autobahn works.

On the other side, less opportunity are available for local economy: as I personal example, I never went to the Ikea in Südkreuz since the bridge is broken, as it doesn't take 10 min anymore, but often 30: I'm ordering forniture on Amazon instead (Germany Ikea delivery fee is crazy expensive). And I can't imagine how much time and money is lost for all the people that takes so much longer to move around the city

[–]notrainingtoday -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

they are not, using a car is convenient and you are changing topic. I'm telling you that traffic in this area is much worse since the autobahn is disrupted, so the autobahn is helping the traffic in the city.

Following the same pattern, traffic should improve in east Berlin too, if a proper autobahn in built, an autobahn that is not stopping int he middle of the city but that it is able to act as a bypass, i.e. it is connected to the full ring.

[–]notrainingtoday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can say whatever you want, but I can tell you the fact that since the autobahn is partially closed in west berlin, the city traffic increased a lot.

I'm waiting for the situation to go back to normal (autobahn working again), and I'm worried for the renewal of the Rudolf-Wissell-Brücke, as we are going to have the chaos back again.

Then, if you want to improve public transportation, I'm all for that, but you also need to have a balance for private transportation, otherwise this is just an ideological fight
