Starting tomorrow (well timed folks), a big part of the public transport system in Berlin will be affected by a strike.

Not really sure if it is a good thing or bad that I get there only on Thursday, but here are some things to ponder….

What may not work? - The U-Bahn (Underground), buses and trams, and possibly German airports too. ITB Berlin advises passengers arriving on domestic and foreign flights to use other forms of transport such as the railways or car rental services. Hmmm…..

What works? - The S-Bahn, which will run without any restrictions!

Why? - the employees of the German capital’s subway, bus and tram network are pushing for pay increases

Good to know! (or then maybe not) - The last time was a 39-hour strike in January which brought Berlin’s subway, bus and tram network to a standstill.

How long? - 10 days, that’s all….strike will end 14th of March.
