Berlin's public transport company BVG has sold more than one million 9-euro tickets up to and including Whit Monday.
"Overall, we were well prepared."
The ticket did not lead to an excessive rush on BVG buses and trains over the Petecost weekend, the company added. "Passenger demand was comparable to other long weekends with summer weather," the BVG spokesperson said. "Overall, we were well prepared." Only on the bus line 218 between Messe and Pfaueninsel as well as on the ferry F10 between Wannsee and Kladow things had briefly become crowded on Sunday afternoon.
