BVG – Berlin´s theme park

As I´m bored again today, I thought I could check out the BVG hompage again. And see there, BVG is not only public transportation. No, it´s way more than that! It wants to be a theme park as well!
It has five adventures for you ready to enjoy:

• U-Bahn Museum: Here you can see stuff like “the original ball from the top of a tower on the Oberbaum” – fished out of the Spree River- Awesome!! But, hä?? Nobody knows what that´s supposed to be, I guess that´s how they catch interest for it…

  

  don´t lose yourself underground

• Tunnel Walking Tour: This is where you should watch yourself, because I don´t know how a guide has an eye on 45 people at a time down there. I´m sure he/she does! But yet they assume no responsibility for “lost” people. Better train your orientation before you go in there.

• Street Car Simulator: Here in Lichtenberg you have a great chance of driving a Tram through virtual Berlin for only 60€!! If you can manage to get there on one of the two Thursdays they have opened  in a month between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Oh, and by the way a tour lasts 30 min. They have one simulator. Make the math yourself…what an offer… (I still prefer to take a ride on Berlin´s Party Tram, M10, on a Saturday night)
  

  go try to get a ride

  • Renting Historical Vehicles: Now this is cool for grandma´s birthday! Let´s just hope grandma´s got lots of friends to split the 260€ an hour (without taxes) with them.

  So, if you make a short trip to Berlin, make sure you´ve gotten the right timing to experience all this! But remember: The museum is open every second Saturday of the month, the tunnel walking tour is usually booked up and there are no advanced reservations (?!), the street car simulator opens its doors every second and forth thursday of the month and make sure that you are one of those eight lucky people a day, for the night time tunnel ride ensure that you are full of coffein for catching this wonderful impression of Berlin´s night light missing out the underground tunnels and at the end don´t forget to time your trip at grandma´s birthday and start saving now!
