Startling news for S-Bahn commuters: services to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) will face major disruptions come mid-September. You heard it right – lines S9 and S45 will be in a holding pattern between BER and Schönleinstraße from September 16 until October 14, as announced by the S-Bahn authorities. But the worse isn't over; after October 14, the halt will extend to Schönleinstraße and Adlershof, leaving the airport out of reach until November 8. Kudos to "Berliner Morgenpost" for breaking the news first.
Doing without S-Bahn for a bit? Don't sweat it! The transportation team will whip up a bus service around Schönleinstraße, ready to step in and whisk away frustrated commuters. If you value speed, consider alternative transportation options, such as the RE 8, the zippy airport express FEX, or the dependable RB 23.
Sadly, this suspension won't spare the other S-Bahn lines in southeastern Berlin. Trains between Grünau and Schönleinstraße, Königs Wusterhausen and Grünau, and Spindlersfeld and Hermannstraße will also feel the heat. Keep your cool, fellow commuters, as alternative means of transport will be available to bridge the gap.
In the thick of it all, you can rest easy knowing that bus services will be your reliable companion between Schönleinstraße and Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). When time is of the essence, the high-speed RE 8, the punctual express FEX, and the hardworking RB 23 will lead the way.
