Bus route 84

The West Berlin bus route 84 (until 1966: A84) ran from 1963 to 1985 between the Berlin districts of Steglitz and Schöneberg , and later also Tiergarten . It was operated by the BVG .

In the course of the S-Bahn boycott , the BVG set up several bus lines that ran parallel to the S-Bahn . One of them was line 84, which was set up on May 2, 1963 and initially drove from Schöneberger Leberstrasse over the course of Bundesstrasse 1 to the Berlin district of Lichterfelde . In the Lichterfeld section, it also replaced the tram line 74 that was closed when it opened. In 1967, it was extended to the Kurfürstenstrasse underground station on the border between the Schöneberg and Tiergarten districts. Since October 1, 1969, it has been on the first section of the Steglitz - Saarstrasse section of the western bypass, opened in 1968 . For the stops, next to the hard shoulder, bays with shelters that were connected to the rest of the street via stairwells were created. The stops were at the following points: junction Saarstraße, junction Filandastraße and at the level of Albrechtstraße. First the line left the autobahn at the Saarstrasse junction. Since 1977 it has traveled the entire length of the western bypass.

At the Schöneberg motorway junction, which opened in 1977, there is a preliminary construction work for the extension of the motorway in a northerly direction, which has not yet been implemented. There is also a stop in the bridge structure under the Sachsendamm that was never in operation . Possibly a transfer option to bus route 65 was being considered here.

The line required a journey time of six minutes for the motorway section.

Bus route 84 was shut down on May 1, 1985 when the S-Bahn, which ran alongside the western bypass, was put back into operation under the management of the BVG in February 1985. A stairwell on Albrechtstrasse is now used as an art gallery.
