The BT Berlin Transport GmbH is a company within the group of the Berlin Transport Authority (BVG) AöR and a wholly owned subsidiary within the group Berlin Transport Authority (BVG). It provides regular transport services with buses and subways in Berlin.
prehistory
Due to the tense financial situation of the state-owned Berlin transport company, a restructuring concept was agreed between the Berlin Senate and the BVG in the mid-1990s that provided for the establishment of a subsidiary that was not bound by the collective agreement in the public sector, in which new hires in the transport service were therefore at lower wages than in the parent company. BT Berlin Transport GmbH was founded in Berlin on July 2, 1999 as part of the financial consolidation of the BVG Group and began operating buses with four drivers on December 1, 1999. At the end of 1999 / beginning of 2000, line operations for the tram and the subway began.
Company history
Established in December 1999, BT gradually increased its workforce. In correspondence with this, BT provided driving services on behalf of BVG AöR for Berlin and always also on their vehicles, initially in the bus division, and from mid-2000 also in the subway and tram divisions. In the years to come, the share of BT's transport services in all of Berlin's local public transport for buses, subways and trams was increased to around 34% of total transport performance. At that time, BT had around 1,950 employees.
With the introduction of the Berlin Local Transport Collective Agreement (TV-N) in 2005 in the BVG AöR, it was agreed between the parties that the TV-N scope would be extended to the BT from September 1, 2007. The collective bargaining parties are sending a clear signal in the direction of equal wages for equal work. As part of the consolidation of the collective bargaining regulations, on January 1, 2014, the tram division was once again taken over 100 percent by BVG.
At the end of 2017, the company had around 1,970 employees, making it the third largest transport company in Berlin after BVG and S-Bahn Berlin .
BT is a member of the Association of German Transport Companies (VDV) and the Municipal Employers' Association (KAV).
Areas of activity
The BT is divided into the following areas:
BT does not have its own vehicles. These are provided exclusively by the client. The content of the transport service to be provided is determined by the BVG as the client, personnel, deployment and duty planning are carried out by BT itself. Up to 32% of the travel services of the Berlin transport company in the bus and subway sectors are provided by BT.
Technical innovation and "virtual depot"
From the beginning, BT was able to rely on extremely lean management structures, as it is ultimately active as a personnel service provider at the core of its activity . The ratio of administrative employees to productive employees is consistently below 5 percent, which puts it well ahead in the ranking of public companies. Every BT driver is equipped with a smartphone that shows him his services. The establishment of branch offices is therefore not necessary. This concept is called a virtual depot. This concept of the virtual depot was developed by MOVEO Software GmbH in Potsdam.
