Regional initiatives and projects
Mobility
Berlin transport companies
The city-wide public transport network is an environmentally-friendly alternative to cars. Furthermore, it is continuously modernised. For instance, BVG has the cleanest diesel buses in Europe along with two hydrogen filling stations and launched the e-ticketing pilot project for paperless travel.
Bicycle traffic
The urban development plan envisages extending bicycle traffic by 15% up to 2020. At the same time, the cycling network is to be upgraded and extended. The corresponding financial resources earmarked in the budget are to be increased.
Low emission zone
At the beginning of 2008 Berlin was one of the four German cities to designate a low emission zone. It has already led to a 25% reduction in the number of residents exposed to fine dust.
