The ドイツ語:''Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe'' (German for Berlin Transport Company) is the main public transport company of Berlin, the capital city of Germany. It manages the city's U-Bahn underground railway, tram, bus and ferry networks, but not the S-Bahn urban rail system. The generally used abbreviation, BVG, has been retained from the company's original name, ''Berliner Verkehrs Aktiengesellschaft'' (Berlin Transport Corporation). Subsequently the company was renamed ''Berliner Verkehrs-Betriebe''. During the division of Berlin, the BVG was split between ''BVG (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe Gesellschaft - West Berlin)'' and ''BVB (Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe - East Berlin)'', also known as the ''Kombinat Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe'' (BVB). After reunification, the current formal name was adopted. == History == The ''Berliner Verkehrs Aktiengesellschaft'' was formed in 1928, by the merger of the ''Allgemeine Berliner Omnibus AG'' (the operator of the city's buses), the ''Gesellschaft für Elektrische Hoch- und Untergrundbahnen'' (the operator of the U-Bahn) and the ''Berliner Straßenbahn-Betriebs-GmbH'' (the operator of the city's trams). On 1 January 1938, the company was renamed ''Berliner Verkehrs-Betriebe'', but the acronym BVG was retained. From 1 August 1949, the BVG networks in West Berlin and East Berlin were operated separately. The two operators were originally known as ''BVG (West)'' and ''BVG (Ost)'', but from 1 January 1969 the eastern operator was renamed as the ''Kombinat Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe'' or BVB. After the reunification of Berlin, the two operators were recombined into the ''Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe'' on 1 January 1992. Prior to the division of Berlin, tram lines existed throughout the city, but ''BVG (West)'' abandoned all the tram lines in its part of the city, replacing them all by buses by 1967. However ''BVG (Ost)'' retained its tram lines, and on the reunification of Berlin the BVG inherited a considerable network of routes in the eastern half of Berlin. On 9 January 1984, ''BVG (West)'' took over the responsibility for operation of the S-Bahn services in West Berlin. This urban rail network had previously been operated in both halves of Berlin by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the state rail operator of East Germany, but had been subject to a boycott in the west after the building of the Berlin Wall. With the reunification of Berlin, responsibility for the S-Bahn reverted to Deutsche Bahn AG (DBAG), the state rail operator of Germany. The S-Bahn is currently managed by the ''S-Bahn Berlin GmbH'', a subsidiary company of DBAG. ''BVG (West)'' also took part in the Berlin M-Bahn project, an urban maglev system, in the period between 1984 and 1992. The project used a section of the U-Bahn right of way that was out of service due to the building of the Berlin Wall, and was dropped with the fall of that wall. The BVG launched the ''MetroNetz'' on 12 December 2004 which remodeled the tram and bus network to create 24 tram and bus lines (with M prefix) covering parts of the city that weren't served by S-Bahn or U-Bahn. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
