The BVG (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe) declared that the strike announcement was too short-term and that adequate preparation was no longer possible.

The fact that Berlin passengers can only use the S-Bahn is annoying and dangerous because of the possibility of corona infection. The S-Bahn wants to at least provide some relief and has announced that it will use more trains.

There was also headwind for Verdi from the Municipal Employers’ Association (KAV). Managing director Anke Stier complained: “We have no understanding for this warning strike. It was only last year that all BVG employees saw income improvements amounting to 102 million euros annually. ”Such an extensive strike also represents an unnecessary health risk for local transport passengers.
