During the day Berlin can be traveled very well with public transport Photo: picture alliance/dpa/BZ assembly

It is said that in Berlin, buses and trains are easier to get to than anywhere else in Germany. At least by day. A comment from BZ editor Isabel Pfannkuche.
The “Allianz pro Schiene” statistics count stops with at least 28 departures per day. The Kurt-Schumacher-Platz in Reinickendorf is such a stop.
My bus easily stops there 28 times a day. But at night it just doesn’t work anymore. At 10.40 p.m. – this also applies to the weekend – it’s over. And that until 5:30 in the morning.
Means for me: I regularly have to walk home alone for 20 minutes in the dark. I’m sure: I’m not the only one in the outskirts.
As long as there are still gaps like this in Berlin, I don’t want to be told that we have the most easily accessible local transport system.
