A ticket to the beach, please! The bus connection to the Tegelsee lido has always been a hot topic in the Reinickendorf district of Berlin since the iconic lido was reactivated two years ago by operator Udo Bockemühl together with the Neue Neighborhood Moabit e.V. association. It has recently become clear that the lido on the western shore of Lake Tegel will be accessible by public transport during the summer holidays. The Reinickendorf newsletter of the Tagesspiegel reports on this in its current issue.
“In a pilot project, a bus will bring bathers to the gates of the lido over the summer holidays in 2022,” said the district office. The summer holidays in Berlin begin on July 7th and end on August 19th. Bus line 222 will be used, which will run every 40 minutes during the summer holidays. For example, the bus stops at the Alt-Tegel underground station; the 222 drives from Tegelort to Lübars.
Until now, the best way to reach the lido was on foot or by bike, the nearest bus stop was just under one and a half kilometers away. There are only a few parking spaces for cars here.
City councilor for transport Korinna Stephan speaks of “long negotiations and intensive talks with the Senate administration, the BVG and the Berlin forests”. The FDP parliamentary group also calls for a bus connection beyond the summer holidays: “It shouldn’t stay with the summer holidays. As the FDP parliamentary group, we will work to ensure that the lido is served at least for the bathing season,” says transport policy spokesman and FDP parliamentary group leader in BVV David Jahn.
The bathing season is also an issue elsewhere in the north of Berlin: Because the DLRG Reinickendorf sounds the alarm and reports on staff shortages – here is the full text in the Tagesspiegel.
