The assessment of the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) is unmistakable. “The BVG does not see any sensible use cases for a cable car network in Berlin,” it says in a Senate paper that is available to the Berliner Zeitung.

Nevertheless, the new red-green-red coalition wants to examine where further routes could be built. Politicians are already waiting with concrete proposals. But does Berlin really need more cable cars?
