Lovely route. Sadly it is missing the double decker busses.

[@Fan652w]

This was a very interesting video! But when I travelled on route 100 (in the opposite direction) in 1994 (only 4 years after re-unification) the bus was a double deck and went THROUGH the Brandenburg Gate. (The diversion via the Reichstag was a big disappointment!). The driver did not 'run a red light' when he left the Spandauer Strasse stop. He had a special 'public transport signal', the white vertical light, in his favour. These signals are common in many continental European countries, but in Britain they are only used for trams; stupidly they are not used for buses.

[@KaterChris]

The gate has been completely closed for traffic since the last restauration was finished in 2002. From 1992 on it was allowed for public transport and taxicabs to pass through on a single lane westbound, and for a brief period between 1998 and the start of restauration works in 2000 general traffic could pass through westbound on 2 lanes. Since then also the whole area to the east has been pedestrianised. The route 100 is no longer served by double deckers because they are too heavy to pass over an abandoned tram tunnel from the 1930s that's underneath Unter den Linden, the constant traffic has weakened it so much that a limit on axle weight for buses and trucks had to be imposed which the double deckers exceed, but the longer articulated buses do not. But also, there simply aren't enough double deckers in the fleet anymore to equip all double deck worthy routes with them...which we Berliners can feel every day during peak hours! A bendy is no substitute for a double decker, especially on longer routes.

since the beginning switzerland right now germany I'm looking forward to other countries))

[@EurasiaTransportExplorer]

Sure. We’ll visit more countries in the future.

[@umashio1]

I am Japanese. Why can I proceed even with a red light at 2:27 in this video?

[@michaelwei1664]

If you have a closer look at the traffic light there’s a second traffic light to the right that shows the symbol „|“. This signal is solely for municipal „BVG“ buses and is the equivalent to a regular green traffic light. The sign „-“ stands for red light whereas „•“ means yellow.

@@michaelwei1664 Thank you !!
