Background

The purpose of this tender is to conduct an evaluation and selection of the most suitable means of transport for a specific corridor in Berlin, particularly focusing on tram routes. The process involves several steps, including:


  • Comparison of means of transport: Evaluate various transportation options available in Berlin to determine which one is best suited for the investigated corridor. In this case, tram routes are being considered among other means of transport.
  • Comparison of routes: If the tram is found to be the most suitable means of transport, different tram routes are compared to identify the most preferable one for the corridor under investigation.
  • Analysis of economic viability: The preferred tram route is then subjected to an economic feasibility analysis, which likely includes a benefit-cost analysis. This analysis is crucial for planning purposes and may be a prerequisite for funding from relevant authorities such as GVFG (Gemeindeverkehrsfinanzierungsgesetz) and the Senate proposal.


In summary, the purpose of this tender is to systematically assess various means of transport, particularly focusing on tram routes, and select the most appropriate option for the specified corridor based on comparisons of transportation methods, routes, and economic viability. The ultimate goal is likely to inform future urban transportation planning and development initiatives in Berlin.
