Recording of a journey in a double-decker bus in Berlin from Hertzallee (Charlottenburg) to S Teltow Stadt. The route mainly runs along wide traffic axes. 18 minutes late. As a retired bus driver, I'll give you a few figures: 15.9 km of line length with a journey time of 45 minutes results in a speed of 21.19 km/h. With an 18-minute delay, this becomes 15.12 km/h, and the final stop is 4.53 km away. This is how you can try to regulate the wages. For 7 years I have observed that BVG drivers note the arrival time at every final stop. Why this is not read out by the central computer is beyond my knowledge. It was possible when I was active. I don't want to comment on the sense, purpose and nonsense of this bureaucracy. When there are delays, the colleague is exposed to hostility, insults, aggression and other unpleasant incidents. I dealt with these utopian timetables as follows: I started to drive particularly carefully, in a passenger and pedestrian-friendly manner, approaching zebra crossings and crossing aids particularly slowly, giving other road users the right of way. At the stops, I looked to see if anyone was late and then of course waited. As with this tour, I would also have gone to the toilet at the end of the journey instead of driving on straight away. I explain the effects in video #023. Equipment used: Sony FDR AX 53 Cullmann Clamp Magic
