Large construction work: S-Bahn in Berlin from January 17th severely restricted!

In order not to let the affected passengers down, the S-Bahn Berlin has set up replacement traffic by bus. For example, passengers who want to travel between Yorckstraße and Friedrichstrasse have to use the S1A bus line. The S1B bus line is available for trips to the north, which is wrong between Friedrichstrasse and Gesundbrunnen.

Furthermore, it is advised to consult the S-Bahn app before the journey. There, passengers can access the latest information on the departure times of the replacement buses and to possible change. In the course of the construction work, all changes are also available in the timetable information, so that passengers are always informed about the current developments.

The S-Bahn Berlin and Deutsche Bahn continue to work on the modernization of the transport network. These measures have short-term effects on the driving service, but should contribute to an improvement in S-Bahn traffic in the capital in the long term. Further restrictions and clock changes are to be expected for the coming weeks, which is why a regular review of the timetables is essential.
