Transport statistics
The article contains a table of statistics for various transport modes in Berlin. Unfortunately the quoted source for this is simply the address of web site containing lots of different statistics, and I cannot find the particular data used here. Which isn't to say it isn't there; statistical german certainly isn't my strong point. Can anybody help improve this cite?. -- Starbois (talk) 10:45, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Cycling in Berlin
The article contains the following statement:


 * Riders have access to 620 km of bike paths including some 150 km of mandatory bicycle paths, 190 km of off-road bicycle routes, 60 km of bike lanes on the roads, 70 km of shared bus lanes which are also open to bicyclists, 100 km of combined pedestrian/bike paths and 50 km of marked bike lanes on sidewalks.

This is justified by citations of:
 * http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/07/bike_city_berli.php
 * http://www.stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/verkehr/radverkehrsanlagen/en/radwege.shtml

Only the first of these contains any route length information, and it makes no mention of mandatory bicycle paths (whatever that is) or off-road bicycle routes. And it is ambiguous as to whether the bike lanes on the roads, shared bus lanes, combined pedestrian/bike paths and marked bike lanes on sidewalks are part of the 620km of bike paths or additional to them.

Can anybody help resolve this ambiguity, provide a source for the mandatory bicycle paths and off-road bicycle routes figures, or explain what a mandatory bicycle path is. TIA - Starbois (talk) 11:05, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * A mandatory bicycle path is one that bicyclists are required to use. When a mandatory bicycle path is present, bicyclists are not allowed to ride in the street. They are distinguished from optional bicycle paths by the presence of a circular blue sign with a white outline of a bicycle on it (see image to the right). If a bike path doesn't have that sign, bicyclists may choose to ride in the street instead. +Angr 20:26, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Passengers per year OR boadings per year?
The article claims the U-Bahn has 457 million passengers per year. Is that correct? The entire population of Germany is less than 82 million. Do they really have that many tourists per year?173.60.95.232 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:47, 3 August 2011 (UTC).
