B-V-1886
Coincidentally 28 is my lucky number and that applied to one of the old BVG bus routes in West Berlin as I loved the 28 which I think became the 140 after Reunification of East and West. Not only did this route meader from steet to street picking up older residents on short hops as it threased it's way from Schlesische Strasse it took a very unspectacular 44 minutes to do the short 12 km. journey to Templehof. But what I remember best is it was also a last haunt for the final batch of Bussing Bu-DE-74 buses ended with No.2622. Those were by far my favourite Berlin BVG buses but when it was their turn to disappear from the streets too I grew quite fond of the next generation like MAN 1886 seen passing through a tired looking Kreuzberg on this working from Britz Garage.
