Traffic jams, the search for parking spots or a missed train connection: commuting into Berlin can be stressful. With the BerlKönig BC you now have a comfortable alternative.
The BerlKönig BC runs from Monday to Friday from 5-9 am and 3-8pm. The service operates between Schulzendorf (and parts of Zeuthen) and the underground station Rudow, from where you can reach the city quickly with the U7 and numerous buses.
On top of having to hold a valid VBB/BVG (A)BC ticket, a ride costs just 50 Euro cents, and serves the S-/U-Bahn station Rudow to and from anywhere within the service zone.
Thanks to a wealth of virtual bus stops employed by the service, the BerlKönig BC stops almost at your doorstep. This means you can now leave your personal vehicle at home during the week - not only protecting your nerves but also the environment.
And this is how the BerlKönig BC works:
1. Download and register app: Download the BerlKönig BC App on your smartphone and register by simply typing your name and email address and choosing a payment method.
2. Pre-booking rides: Book your journeys up to a month in advance. Note that your ride must either start or end at the Rudow subway station. Then select a time slot your departure. To make the ride with the BerlKönig BC as comfortable as possible, you can set recurring bookings. The app confirms these pre-booked trips just minutes later.
3. Being picked up:
One hour before departure you will be informed by the app of your exact pick-up time and exact pick-up location close to your front door. You can also track the approaching vehicle in the app. Head to your nearby pickup location, the BerlKönig BC will meet you there and off you go!
With the BerlKönig BC we efficiently bundle travel wishes of several passengers between the subway station and the service area. In this way, we bring each passenger efficiently to their destination, reducing detours and congestion. Overall, this means you can now leave your personal vehicle at home during the week - not only protecting your nerves but also the environment.
The BerlKönig BC is funded by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). More information can be found at www.bvg.de/berlkoenigBC.
