Mobility of the future –in the age of AI
We are ready for tomorrow’s mobility. We are working with the state of Berlin to rethink the capital city’s public mobility in the coming years, by optimising and developing a new transport system with the help of AI and digitalisation.
In doing so, we are making Berlin a role model for smart and digital mobility and utilising the potential of our city. As a public transport company, we are already ensuring that Berlin keeps moving. Our vision is to design a fully comprehensive and innovative mobility service – with a competitive and state-of-the-art service.
This requires big plans, sufficient time and a bit of patience. The BVG is ready and has its goal clearly in sight.
Autonomous driving
When you imagine the future, autonomous driving is no longer purely science fictional. The once-seeming futuristic vision of autonomous driving has become a reality for us.
Autonomous driving lays the foundations for a new, demand-responsive transport system in our city. As part of the NoWeL4 project, the BVG is testing autonomous shuttles in north-west Berlin in preparation for their future roll-out.

Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC)
The constantly growing population in Berlin not only begets the diversity and variety for which the city is known but also increases the daily number of passengers. We have a solution to prevent fuller vehicles that at the same time create innovative capacity: Communication-Based Train Control, or CBTC for short.
With the clearly formulated goal of enabling greater availability on the existing network, the use of modern, globally used train-protection technology is essential. This makes driving operations more flexible and reliable. We are looking forward to a partially automated, more frequent service, which will also help us to plan more flexibly during building works and without rail-replacement services.
Modern infrastructure
The BVG builds, renews and repairs. Our network is continuously being developed and improved. Our goal is to offer not only the best mobility, but also as modern an infrastructure as possible. For example, after the extension of the U5, the U3 line will forge a new path. The extension of the U8 to the Märkisches Viertel is not far away either.

JELBI – Many roads lead home
Jelbi is the Swiss Army knife of mobility apps – one for all, so to speak. Whether you need a bus, train, scooter, bike, car or taxi. In collaboration with many different partners, Jelbi takes urban mobility beyond traditional public transport. With around 65,000 vehicles and almost 300 Jelbi points and stations, the mobility app offers public transport and sharing options for Berlin, all bundled under one roof. Via the Jelbi mobility platform, the BVG connects various mobility options in the city.
