Will BVG be great again in 2024?
tbh the M10's been a gamble since they changed the route through the Ringbahn station area, those switches are so worn they cause delays all day. if you're near a U-Bahn stop, the U8 usually runs smoother and gets you across town faster than waiting for a tram that might be a ghost. BVG's fine for the core lines but anything with "M" in front feels like a second class system right now
They've been saying "soon" on the Ringbahn for three years now, so I wouldn't hold your breath. The M10 specifically has been a disaster since they rerouted it, the old schedule was tighter. If you're doing that route regularly, the 200 bus runs parallel and is usually more predictable, even if it's slower.
The M10 has been a mess since they extended it past Warschauer, the headways just got worse. If you're near that line, the S75 or even the U5 might get you where you need to go faster, even with a transfer. BVG is fine for most routes but the tram lines that got stretched too far are really struggling.

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
